This window's gotta go!

 40 year old window. Double hung, leaky, ugly, it's got to go.

It took about 4 hrs to install the window. We weren't trying to break any speed records. The old window was basically held in by 2 nails. There are about 20 screws in the new one. The gap between the framing and the window is filled with expanding foam. We taped the entire framing with a non permeable adhesive sealing tape.






Newly installed, high efficiency Pella. Very happy with this window!

Beams

Yesterday, Cofer Brothers of Tucker delivered 2 LVL beams for the house. They are 14" deep and 18' long.  I called Cofer Brothers at 9 a.m. and they arrived before lunch, free delivery.


Price $200.

Here is one of the columns roughed in.

 The columns are 4 - 2 x 8's on either side of the span, 8 total. 

 The wife and I managed to rope the beam up from the attic. It was tough.
