Bay Window Blues

Well, once the drywall was up, we still had a big problem to solve, and that was, what to do with the bay window. And it wasn't just the window that was a concern, but the foundation, the framing, the condition of the interior and the exterior (which was clad in insulbrick, a shingle-like material that was all the rage in the 70's). With Tye's help, we developed a solution and the digging began. About one tonne of dirt, old bricks and dilapidated foundation was dug up. It sat in a large pile on our side lawn for many months. Finally, it was replaced with a beautiful foundation and a lovely bay window frame. The windows were installed in the Spring and were worth the 4 week wait. It looks beautiful and completely transformed the side of the house, where there was once nothing, then a gaping hole, there is now light and a view. We just finished priming this past week.
