Let The Light Shine In

The bathroom window is finally in. After a bit of work building the framing, header and sill plate, it fit great. The siding came off without too much trouble and went on the same. Like most jobs where they put vinyl siding on, the old siding isn't taken off, and that was the case here as well. The old cedar shingles are still on the house, they just put ¾ inch Styrofoam panels on to level it out and nailed the siding through it. I guess it adds to the insulation layers????

Frame work being put in place.

The old siding still in place.

Finally cut out the opening.

It lines up with the west windows in the kitchen, great for cross breeze.

Window installed and siding put back, you would never know.

Getting Ready To Open It Up

Well it has been a bit slow on the "Project" these past few days, golf weather has been good and there is the lawn that needed to be addressed. Before ReBecca brought in live stock. It talks a bit of time to get some of the equipment needed to handle the this size of a lawn and then return it. And Murphy's Law always plays a roll and I had some trailer light problems that took some more time to work out, and are not corrected, yet.

Anyway back to the title, I have started to get ready to install the bath room window and exhaust fan. I built a bulkhead for the vent hose above the toilet and removed the siding in preparation for the window.

The exhaust fan vent tube bulkhead.

Getting things prepared for the window. I still need to add a header and sill plate.

Siding pulled off, the window will be closer to the left side.
