Is It For Real?

I am standing here in the kitchen waiting, looking out the window at the siding contractor sitting in his truck in our driveway.  It seems he has COMPLETED THE WINDOW (said with a spontaneously loud voice burst as Regis Philbin sometimes does, don't know what I am talking about?  Then watch the first 15 seconds of this video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcTkABktRYE
I want to go outside and check out the window to see if its complete and take a picture, but feel weird with him sitting there.

He has been sitting there for close to an hour, I assume waiting on the project manager to come and ensure the completion of his work??  Either that or he is looking in the kitchen window back at me wondering what I am starring at.  YOU BUDDY, I AM EYEING YOU.   Maybe he is asleep?

This window has weathered two snow snowstorms and rain before being fully installed.

We're hoping no damage occurred to the structural and exposed bits from the all the moisture during the storms.  Mainly concerned about the exposed wood and sub walls underneath the siding.  What do you all think, a risk?


---------------------------------
So they finally left and I was able to get outside with some sunlight left and get a picture.  It does look complete!!  Before and After-

Pretty, pretty-


The bottom supports are new.  If you look back at the old window it had little brackets underneath but they were not performing any structural function.  They were not even centered on studs, which explains again the sagging.  I like how it looks-


We are somewhat concerned about these little openings.  Nice little entrances for hornets to climb in and build another nest?  Should we be concerned or am I being too picky?




So now we just have to paint her and add trim-

A few quick other updates/progress.  Just before valentines day I gave the heater at our backdoor some needed TLC-


Paint and a little tightening to the wall-

And some other progress in the back entrance.... patching up and painting under the kitchen peninsula.  Still planning on doing some floating shelves here-


Though small.... all updates are big and encouraging to me!

If able I hope to post later about my dinning room curtains again.  Mom T offered me some great help and advice this past weekend, but now I am second guessing going with floor length panels again.  I will explain later.
