If the eyes are the windows of the soul

Are windows the soul of a house?

These photos were actually taken the other evening, so there may be EVEN MORE developments that we haven’t seen, but I did want to share the fact that the windows and doors are being installed in our laneway.

Here’s a view of the stairs and window from inside.

You can see the framing of the half-wall overlooking the stairs, and the window facing west from the landing.

Here’s me on our deck outside the sitting area window.

All our windows are from Cascadia Windows, made locally with fibreglass frames.

More updates will come as we progress!

  1. Fiberglass windows – that sounds nice. We’d already committed too much of our budget when we were introduced to that option. Mind you, we’re really hooked on wood. They’ll take more maintenance but we’re up for it!
