It's always very exciting to see windows installed. It means the project is progressing and the building will soon be weatherized. Our choice of window - Paradigm (Portland, Maine) triple glazed R5.3 new construction vinyl windows on the east, west and north, and R4.0 double paned windows and R4.2 triple glazed sliding patio door on the south. A 2 over 2 traditional-look grid pattern was selected for the exterior applied grids on the triple units, with no grids on the south windows. Since the house is acclimated to true south and is passive solar, the larger, grid-free windows will welcome the winter sun. During the summer months, when the sun is higher in the sky, the rear porch will provide ample shading for the sliding glass door and gliding window in the LR. Custom awnings will be made by Kevin and installed after the house is sided for the "un-porched" south facing windows. Many thanks to Josh for coming from Burlington early this morning to assist.
