Heavy Lifting


Well, in the two months that I haven't posted, we've been busy working. The exterior foam and membrane is nearly complete, and the windows are going in. I'm using a galvanized steel jamb extensions on the outside, installed prior to the window.

Today, we installed one of the large windows, 12+ feet tall and nearly 300 pounds. Nothing a few pulleys and a winch couldn't handle.

This is a very cool project to follow. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I'd love to see more frequent updates.

To be fair, Chris has been working full-time, plus slaving away on his house, plus he's been restricted to travel-by-segway since his truck broke.
