Windows...

The next step in the process is putting in the windows.

So first they had to measure and mark.

The guys cut and bent a piece of metal that follows

the contours of the walls so they could

mark where they need to cut for the window.

They already welded the steel frame that will

go around the window...

There is his new door, there in the back.

It's not going there though.

It's going on the right between the lamp and

the end of the cabinet... which is also

not where it will end up.

The cabinets will be under the giant windows.

Marking and cutting...

What it looks like on the outside...

And then it decided to do the afternoon Florida

thunder storm thing.

Good thing Scott has moved out.

We have taken over his bedroom to store

half of the boxes full of insulation panels.

The other half are in the living room.

They threw a giant tarp over the container

to keep the rain out.

And we all came inside for a quick lunch

while the thunder boomed and the 

rain poured.

Beau needed a nap.

He was out like a light.

The rain stopped, so they lifted the tarp and got back

to cutting the window hole.

And the tarp.

Kyle bought a new plasma cutter.

It's HOT.

It's our very own 4th of July fireworks show!

And yes,

Kyle burned himself.

On like the first cut.

A piece of hot steel fell into his boot.

He has a couple of nice little blisters

on his ankle.

But in true "man" form, he's "walking it off".

(At least he didn't "rub some dirt in it" - that was

Uncle Scott's response whenever they hurt

themselves at the shop...)

He did put some natural burn salve on it,

but its pretty uncomfortable.

Poor guy!

They are trying really hard to get the main

triple window in tonight.

Rod just ran to Lowes to get some caulk.

That should mean its coming along...
