vision into reality- October 3rd

Well, time has passed and now we are ready to make the rear windows appear. From concept to reality, what a project!!!
The first picture shows all three windows cut out and getting ready to be framed. Yes it looks quite junky, lot of stuff to be done getting in the way.
We started storing wood up in the loft area since we are buying as we can budget wise.



The whole process took a day to install and next day we were able to finish the caulk and insulation around the windows. Temps were in the 50's but dropped into the 40's while the windows were still not in the frames so whole time was pretty chilly. We bought a kerosene heater and that helped keep the place warm. Woodstove will have to wait till funds can be made available.

This was other window popped into the new frame we built. It replaced the rotted in place window that was removed and boarded up back in July/August. On this wall you can visualize two new windows, one for kitchen sink area and other for living room. The old black window will be pulled out and boarded up. All the freezable stuff was pulled from the cabin and RV anti-freeze poured into the toilet, temps for Sunday night are 29 degrees. We still have 4 windows to install downstairs and 2 windows upstairs.

And sitting in front of the new window "wall" is a treat, hard to get up and do stuff, easy to let time drift by.
