Exteriors

With nothing real exciting going on on the inside, I figured I'd post a couple of pictures of the views from the outside of the house. Here's the outside of the front of the house:

The front window is boarded up at the moment - it will be one of the future decorative windows with the leaded tape in the diamond pattern - 2 smaller square windows will flank this larger one, with the same pattern.
This a view of the back of the house, with the newly installed large window in the boys' room.

Below is a view of the north side of the house - you can see the skylights in the boys' room, then the one that is at the top of the stairs from the 1st floor.

I took a picture of the south side of the house, with the skylight in the bathroom, but it just doesn't show very well from that angle, so I'm leaving it out at this point.
We've had a bit of a set-back with the windows - the distributer sent our builder some windows with a white exterior instead of bronze. They are replacing them at no charge - but some of the windows with the white exterior were the ones we already had the leaded tape applied to, and we obviously can't send those back. I guess Chris hadn't opened them before dropping them off at the glass place, and so didn't notice. All is well, though. Apparently one can use special paint to be applied to the metal, so the ones in front will have that that treatment done. Another glitch to get through, as we didn't expect everything to go perfectly!
This week promises more mudding and taping of the drywall, and hopefully more windows to go in!
