See all these Windows? The great room is all windows, looking out at the lake.
We left the original windows that make up this wall. We only replaced the sliders -those are the ones with the stickers on the lower picture here. We replaced all of the rest of the windows in the house. In fact, that was the first thing that was done. Last week, just as the carpenters were making all the jams for the windows, we discovered that 4 of these windows have failed. They are double pained windows which have moisture between the pains that appears
cloudy. That's bad. This project is supposed to be done in 6 weeks, and now we have to order new windows. We decided not to recreate this wall exactly, we will improve it. We currently have 29 windows, which we will combine into 11 bigger
low-e windows. Of course, this is the right thing to do, but it costs money. And it takes time to order new windows. We are still hoping to move in at the beginning of June. We'll see. Stay tuned for other delays!

The windows may be jammed and a pain - but oh what a view Daisy!
