Well the day finally came. All Len's preparation made it look almost easy. A new friend and fellow musician, Pat, came over with two eager young men and the big window got put in. It only took about 1/2 hour. Lots of testosterone needed and used. (muscles). Cath supervised and took a few pictures.

| A big, heavy window - get it right side up and out! |
 |
| Heave ho! |
 |
| Inside the window is steadied and guided |
 |
| Len puts in the first screws and everyone sighs a sigh of relief |
Once the grunt work was done, Len finished putting on the tuck tape and secured the window inside. Then we sat back and took a look at the house with all it's windows. Cool!

| From the driveway |
 |
| From the garden |
Then it was back to work on the deck, using all the clamps.
 |
| Need more screws and more planks. So far the count of screws in the deck is 3200 used. |
 |
| A view from under the deck shows why we need so many screws - 3 to each board every 8 inches |
The goal for tomorrow is to get as much deck done as possible. Stay tuned.
Did you say every 8 inches? Why are the joists so close together?
