Our windows and doors ready to be unloaded as soon as the crew arrived.
Did I say huge, that window is taller than TJ on the skid and TJ is no midget. That's Jeff holding the window steady and checking to make sure Mary gets his picture. Yes, my name appears on the photos but Mary was the one behind the lens today. She got some great shots.
Of course I got the bobcat stuck, so Pat suggested a little extra weight on the front end might help get us out Voila, it worked! Look who jumped on for the ride, only the brave.
We needed everyone for the windows on the south wall. Thanks guys, you are so appreciated. Hope there are no aches and pains from today's work. If you are looking for a great builder check out HavenCraft in Bancroft, these guys do it right the first time.
Thursday the well driller comes and Friday the roof goes on, if the weather co-operates; then we are heading down the 401.

Two years later.... could you let us know how your Fibertec windows are working out for you? We are in the middle of making a major decision on windows for our (nearly) net zero house.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
We just spent our first winter in our house. The only issue with the windows was condensation along the bottom of the glass on very cold mornings. This could be caused by the concrete continuing to give off moisture and the fact we don't use our HRV system at night.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure your windows are installed properly, spray foam around the entire perimeter and then quality caulking on the outside.
I would not finish the windows frames on the inside until after you've spent a winter in the house. This way you can see if you have any moisture leaks due to installation problems. Once it's closed in you have no idea what moisture might be collecting under your finished frame.
