Installation is complete!

Rain has been relentless in middle Tennessee for the past week. But the sun finally peeked through the clouds and allowed us to install these sunroom windows on Saturday afternoon! The installation went fairly smooth. The left side fit like a glove, the left side caught at the top so Jeff shaved the wood trim a little and the panel slid in.

So much of my time over the past 6 weeks has been spent working on these windows. They became so much a part of my daily life, I feel a little lost now that I won't have them there waiting for me tomorrow!

On to the next project... a bathroom window!

Closer yet...

I should have taken a moment to consider which pieces were being cut and in what order. It's down to the wire and the last two pieces I cut today were the worst two pieces out of the 285!! They are not bad pieces per say, just very detailed and curvaceous! My plan was to finish cutting, grinding and foiling before I left for the day so I could start soldering on Wednesday. Pieces 196 and 199 had something else in mind entirely! (196 and 199 are located between the two purple flowers in the upper right corner.) After 45 minutes and 4 attempts on #199, they are done, they fit and they are glorious! I had to stop there for the day and left the remaining 13 pieces (which are easy peasy pieces) for Wednesday. I am now really looking forward to Wednesday... the cutting will be complete!

A special thank you to Jordan Westall for his help foiling these windows. Thanks to his work, I believe these will be done by the weekend.

I guess I didn't post the left side once it was cut and foiled. Here it is...

Getting closer!

Well, the camera batteries went dead on me today so I wasn't able to get a picture today. This picture is from Wednesday... I now have half of the undone pieces on this picture done. I figure there are about 35 more pieces to go before I can solder! I'm STOKED!! I love to solder. It's my favorite part of the process.

We changed the color of the sunflower leaves and it was a wise decision. This color looks awesome with the light coming from behind it and it really makes the sunflower pop!

Now... if I can just remember to get some new camera batteries tomorrow!
