NEW ATTIC WINDOW

At the end of summer I purchased a new, very large, window for our attic. The view from up there is spectacular: facing south, over the town and valley to the green hills in the distance. One day I hope to make the entire third floor into a master suite – but that will be quite an undertaking – adding a bathroom and bringing everything up to code, adding floor supports, etc. Until then, the attic will be mostly used for storage or a place for the children to hang out. But the old windows had to go… they were practically falling out on their own and allowing way too much heat loss.

Well, this past week I finally found someone to install them.

Now look at that view!

A view from our new attic window (5 food wide and 5 foot tall).
It will be much more beautiful in a few weeks when everything is green - but you get the picture.

I will need to add trim around the outside to match the existing trim, but progress has definitely been made.  (Can you believe this photo was taken on March 23^rd?)
