Unfortunately, Pella took two weeks longer to deliver our new window than they had initially said, so we were living with cardboard covering a hole in our den for a little longer than anticipated! But the window is awesome, and I'm happy to say that it went in without a hitch!! For 3 days now, we've been enjoying the added light, and an evening breeze in our den. Now that we can see the backyard patio, I'm hoping it will provide a boost of motivation for me to finish that project. Melinda and I found some really cool reclaimed bricks we'll be using as pavers. More on that project soon.As the window delivery date approached, I had growing fears that the measurements I provided Pella weren't quite big enough and I'd have to open-up the frame a little. Thankfully it was just right
Yesterday, I milled an interior window stool out of a douglas fir plank, and cut all the interior trim. This window project has given me a lot of quality time on my table saw and router. It's funny, now that I'm getting more comfortable with those tools, I prefer to mill my own custom pieces rather than go out and look for something already made!
