Too Sore to Knit Tonight

 So I'll blog instead.

We spent our weekend enjoying the gorgeous weather(high 60's!) and working on the new dining room.  We installed four new windows by ourselves and it really couldn't have been much easier.  Aside from the very last window, they slid in easily and, thanks to my Dad's expert framing job, were perfectly level both vertically and horizontally and required no shimming.
The first window went in on Saturday evening, the second had to wait until the next morning due to noise regulations.

 One side all done!  The big hole in the middle should be filled later this week by. . .

 This beauty that we picked up this afternoon, the glass is about 2/3 the height of the door.  The outside is going to be painted a gorgeous red, and the trim around the window will be the same tan as the siding.

The handsome husband nailing in the very last window, which was only trouble because the sheathing was cut badly and dipped down into the window opening.

All done with the windows!  This next week's challenge is going to be hanging the front door and a hanging the patio door on the back side of the dining room.  It's so nice to see this coming all together and starting to look like an actual room instead of just a weird porch.
