The windows for the great room were ready to be set, so with the scaffolding all setup on the outside and pump jacks on the inside....we are ready.
Each window was checked to make sure it would fit first...how is that for thinking ahead....with the ropes in place we are ready...I think?
Each window is 49 square feet or less or about 7 feet by 7 feet and weigh in at 840 pounds.
We made sure that the window were tied down in case of any strong winds that could come up quickly or at night before they were installed.
The pump jacks are a handy way of having a work platform when scaffolding can't be used.....we used the pump jacks to help lift the windows up in place.
Outside on the scaffolding they used come-a-longs to help lift the windows and hold them in place during the process....
One by one we lifted them in place and "set" them according to the factory instructions. A tech person came out to make sure the windows and doors were "set" correctly and make any adjustments if they weren't.......we only had two little problems so furr
The crown jewel of the windows in this one......and she is ready to go in place.
By the end of day one......the center line of windows were installed and "set"....now for the other ones.
