We got windows!
Yes, today we got windows - in fact, almost all of the windows were installed today. I drove by in the morning, and the crew was there, but doing something inside. I drove by again at lunchtime, because I went to lunch at the boys' school, and I noted that they were manhandling a giant front door into place. A good sign.
Later in the afternoon, I spoke to Karen and told her, but she realized that we never finalized the design of the fron door that we wanted. I told her I could not tell what the door looked like, I didn't notice and the guys were milling about it - if I saw, I could not recall. The one thing we did not want was glass in our front door. Sidelights were fine, but not on the door itself. She called Tom Jr and he said that he remembered that we had not finalized a door, but when he spoke to his father, Tom had assumed that since we did not specifiy anything different from the norm, that we wanted the norm. Karen drove by later to see what the norm is - and fortunately, it is a door with no windows. Whew, dodged that bullet. Though Tom Jr. said it would be a relatively simple thing to swap one door for another, had it come to that.
Also today, the roofer finished the shingles on the sunroom. All that remains is the large roof section over the garage.
All of the windows, then, are in, or are on site. A couple of doors, too. There are three exterior doors remaining to install and two are on site. I think one is for the door from the outside to the garage and the other is from the garage to the mudroom. The door from the garage to the basement is an exterior door, as far as I know, but they still have to bring in the furnace and the AC equipment, so I assume they will have that door delivered later.
Tomorrow we have a walk-through with the either the plumber or the electrician - I forget which.
Here is a photo of the latest:
