Installing Windows

Josh and my dad spent last weekend working hard on the house. Josh made some more progress on the insulation while my dad dried off each window sill and applied the flashing (the blue tape-like stuff) so they could install the windows. They got seven windows in on Saturday and a five more in on Sunday...they make a good team!
Of course Ronan was right there willing to help when he could (: He spent several hours working with them...tool belt and all!

On Tuesday, my dad and Josh both got off work a little early so they could get some windows installed while it was still light outside. They needed a third guy to help with the upper windows in the family room...someone who was strong & comfortable being up high on the ladder. Kenton (our brother-in-law) was the man for the job (: He is always up for physical challenges like this.
So, the three of them worked together to get the windows in. They made it look easy, but I'm sure it was difficult and a little scary. I'm just thankful that there weren't any accidents!
Here's Katrina, Finley, Mom, and Griffin watching the guys work.

And, finally, here is Ronan & Josh in Ronan's favorite hiding place, the crawl space under the house.

Wow, the house is really coming along! Thanks for posting updates!

How is the lot going to work, I mean in terms of yards? I can't remember exactly how your old yard was set-up, so will both houses still have a back yard?
