As I built the house. Installation of windows.

By July 16 it was covered with a roof, and installed two windows on the east wall. The third window at the street until it was impossible to deliver because the extension had not yet been broken.

Almost all the previous stage was preparation. Other housing I have and my family and I lived right there. Demolition of outbuildings is a kind of point of no return, after that I just had to build before the cold weather this extension, so that it was possible to live

That's how it looked at the time:

A little more in detail tell about the windows and their installation. I chose a wooden box with the influx of a seal on the frames. I chose them because for a long time worked in the carpenter's shop a lot of windows made with his own hands and saw at their convenience and reliability.

I ordered the windows without glass painting and gluing. Even before the foundation in April, I've painted the windows and prepare for the installation. Glass in these windows are glued to the silicone sealant, and this is best done after painting.

What else to say about about the window... as that watched the program on TV, and it is one man with one blow knocked glazed plastic windows. Glazed dropped entirely and into the opening you can safely get. I presented similar with my windows and... pity on this guy.

I've changed the cracked glass in a wooden frame, which is adhered to silicone. Whole it is impossible to pull out, only to break up, and then pick out the pieces in parts hardly tearing off from their frames.

But I digress, let's about the installation. Opening as I have I wrote earlier is 4 cm more. At the bottom of the opening is placed a pair of bars, so that the window unit was on the level, and the top hammered wedges and a window box was bursting in the doorway.

Of course the box is put without frames. After wedging, check the vertical windows, and how exactly the window relative to the plane of the wall. Then fill the gaps with foam along the perimeter and placed temporary spacer in the box to the foam does not change the size of a frame, as Davie is good and can be deflections in the box.

Of course there are the nuances of when installing such windows, and if you can be interesting to see the video clip on the stage of construction. I apologize in advance for the quality, since at that time it was my first experiments in movie.

The next part will be about the insulation, and insulation.
