We have windows!

Yes, the time has finally come for our house to begin looking like a house from the outside and not just inside. The windows are going in. They are one-over-one (no cross in the middle) per the historical guidelines. The color will not stay like this; they will be painted. And clearly, the red paint still needs to be cleaned off and the bricks re-pointed.






And, other than the hole still in the roof (that will remain until we can get our addition/portico/roof access point approved by the city and in place), our roof is complete! This photo shows the roof before the tar membrane was added. I'll try to get one up that shows the membrane too. Notice the lip that we created. Among other reasons, it will be good for no one to be able to easily walk off the roof.


And one more to show the continuing work on re-pointing the interior brick. The new mortar is in but the brick will still be cleaned and sealed.
