With the windows on the way, I tried my best to "grade" the road. The washboard was horrible, hopefully this will smooth it out a bit.


Grader cam:


A neighbor and I drove out about 30 miles to meet the truck and lead him in:


The shipper did a phenomenal job re-packing the windows. 28 windows, 3 sliding glass doors, and three entry doors with zero damage:

Our contractor discussing window installation with Martin, one of the masons:

To secure the windows in the block, we drilled 3/4 inch holes and glued wood dowels into them. The windows will be secured with deck screws into the dowels, then plastered in place.

The first windows roughed in:


Meanwhile, work continues on the patio sitting wall. These C-clamps made of rebar hold the form in place so the top will be level:

Rockwork continues to go up on the arches. Very tedious and time consuming:


Main electrical panel and 12 volt transformer for exterior lighting are roughed in:

Plumbing is also nearly complete:
