It's a window extravaganza!

They have arrived!
Our plan was to have them painted because we did the stained timber windows (and architraves) thing in our last house. We wanted a change for this house but these new windows look so nice it's a struggle, but we are sticking firm with the plan to paint. We have chosen Antique White USA in gloss for the interior and the exterior will be Evening Haze in satin (that will match the gutters).
They smell fantastic too because they are cedar. Walking into the shed is like walking into a sauna ;)

While the girly is at kinder, I very carefully started to disassemble them so we can begin painting. They are also amazingly heavy so all I was able to move on my own with my twiggy little arms, was these tiny ones that will go in the ensuite and toilet.
It's quite a daunting task seeing as we have 15 windows/doors in total, including a very large casement set and a bifold stacker set in the back room.
While I was pottering about in the shed with the windows, the boys were making great progress on the roof. J the carpenter has been busy creating the new valleys for where the new roof will meet the old one.
