Windows to Wash

James and the Gang installed all windows (excluding the top ones near the fireplace) and doors before leaving this week. The top windows near the fireplace had to be installed by a glass company due to the shape, size and location.


Scott got busy right away and power washed the logs with a bleach solution. If you look carefully, you can spot him spraying on a solution called Penetreat. This solution keeps insects from settling in/on the wood.



All of the exterior doors will be stained to match the trim around the windows.

Not a Shingle Short

The shingles are on! The photos really don't really capture the variegated color pattern. The shingle color is called natural timber and has a variety of earth tones. They have also started putting in the toffee colored windows. We've quickly retired the wet/dry vac we used nine times to clean up inside after the rain storms!
