black with pinstripes......glass TOO!

we have been busy these past few weeks. two plys of vaproshield and runners are up ready for the wood rainscreen. most of the frames are in, flashed, primed and painted. started putting glass in this week. few more big frames to go, finish the glass, sliders, doors and she is dried in. sounds easy when you say it fast. eiji has been working like crazy to get the frames finished. they are everybody's favorite part of the house. forget everything else. mark at metalcraft windows really pulled through for us getting glass to us at a fair price and in a very short turn around. i look forward to putting his sliders in this week.
