Buttoning Up

Getting new construction buttoned up against the elements is always an immediate goal during the process. You want to be sure that nothing on the interior is exposed to rain damage, so nothing that has potential for major water damage is installed before the exterior is sealed.  This means the roof is shingled, exterior walls wrapped, and windows and doors in place.

Aside from the very practical elements that window and door installation satisfy, once they are in place the true character of the home or addition starts to unfold.

Custom windows and doors would be ordered at the start of construction, and delivered as a package. Here they come!



And as soon as they arrive, the installation begins.  Fingers crossed that all measurements were accurate, and all were made to order!









Looks great!  With windows in place, the interior can start to be closed in with sheetrock, and before you know it the space will be livable...well, almost.  A ways to go before it's ready to use, but great progress has been made!
