Corner window placement and finishing..

We finally received the corner windows from our window company (Alumside). We are rushing as much as possible and are quite tired at this point. We haven't had any break for several weeks now and definitely feeling it. Anyway, the work must go on...

These are corner windows which require special treatment to be plumb, level, etc. They came somewhat assembled and we needed only to install the side pillars.

We also managed to finish almost all the siding above and below the windows. The only reason we couldn't finish was because ran out of material. Our estimate was for 320 pieces to cover the entire house. Unfortunately these things are very difficult to estimate when you're dealing with odd angles, etc. We will probably need an additional 50 pieces to totally complete the entire thing. For the moment however our primary focus is to cover the entire house which is exposed to the weather. Parts which are non-essential like the big beam will only get finished at a later time.

The corners are epoxied and screwed together for maximum strength.
