So, the sun is shining this morning & we have an extra body on site (Bones - a guy from Cape Breton who's been with Bamfield for a while & still sounds like he's straight off the rock!!). Today should be shingling day & the start of windows.......
The rest of the day was spent putting up the scaffold at the back of the house to paper & prep the back wall for siding & the installation of the back windows. They might get put in today!! I think we were told that it will take about 2 hours per window for installation - we have 21 windows plus a sliding door.
There are 8 that haven't arrived yet because they were just framed in on th
Again, this is the view from the loft - now framed in for the windows. This wall is such a solidly built wall that nothing is going to move it EVER! All the frames are 2 by 6 - which means the frames are 16 inches thick!!! (there are 8 pieces of wood stacked side-by-side around each window hole & securely held in place with metal strapping) Granted I don't have any space to put my electrical.......but we'll work around that when it comes time for our electrican to come in.
