We're Building a House
Episode 13: Gotcha Covered, Mostly
It is now the middle of July and we have a roof, windows, roughed in plumbing and about half the heating system installed. We also have decks. Ah, decks. Kay and I have been going over to the house at the end of the workday and having a glass of wine as we sit out on the decks.
We have had installed a metal roof. We chose a color that was muted and that would blend in with the windows.
For windows, we went with Milgard vinyl and fiberglass. We looked at l-o-o-o-o-o-ts of windows. The Milgard "reps" were great. We met with two of them before deciding. Milgard windows come with a lifetime guarantee, and we have found that fiberglass windows work very well here at the coast.
We also chose Milgard for the french doors off the back deck, exercise room downstairs and for the front door. Our windows are large and heavy Our neighbors said that the crew let out "whoops" of joy when the last big window went in!
