Three small stained glass windows were installed this week, including one that is a transom over the front door (the first one). The other two are located upstairs in the bathroom and bedroom. They are really tiny. This is the only size windows we could put there because of how the roof on the one-story part of the house hits the upper wall.




Also, we got several little things finished up inside this week to get ready for sheetrock. For instance, they put this insulation in the attic (areas that couldn't have the blown kind). The sheetrockers are supposed to start on Tuesday.



Siding started this week. It's been delayed because we were waiting on the doors, but they were able to start on one side of the house where there aren't any doors. The siding is prefinished white Hardiplank (6 ¼). There is unfinished trim around the windows, which we will paint to match the siding. Here's a picture:


We finally received two of our doors and got them installed. They are fiberglass, which will be painted and/or stained. We haven't decided yet. These are the doors on the back of the house, where they are exposed. All the other doors, which are under covered porches, will be wood. (They still aren't here yet.) Here's a picture of one of the two we got in:
