New windows, repairing the East fascia/trim and installing rain gutters!

0

See above if you can find the new window amongst the clutter of old windows..



Rashel compares the original window verses our new window.  We enlarged the opening.


Until recently, this window was buried under earth and concrete.  Jim and Teri Schiess helped us dig this out to expose a beautifully large original window opening!


The basement living room window, although original, was up until recently entombed and covered


The basement bathroom window was sized to match the original opening.  We replaced a jerry-rigged window that was about a 1/3 the size of the opening.


You can see the contrast of the ground level and second story.  The 6-over-6 design is historically accurate.
 
 
NW corner of second story... best room in the house in my opinion . . . love all the windows




Rashel had Ben Kimball use original trim to outfit this new basement bedroom window

As we hoped, the new gutters blend right into the trim.

  1. Wow, this seems like it will almost be a brand new house when the job is done. I hope things continue to work out very well for you. Looks to me like you have had the best of luck in regards to renovation. Please make sure to post photos of the entire finished project as soon as you can.
