Windows

Another reason today was big, five shiny new Pella windows arrived! The windows took quite a bit of deliberation and design work as both Shannon and Gary learned more than they ever wanted to about sashes, muntins, Prairie School patterns, aluminum cladding, tempered glass, sill heights and a million other details. Shannon even had Ed Zimmer - Lincoln city historian - come over to consult. He pointed us to some great examples of venerable Lincoln homes in the established neighborhoods near B and C streets. We adapted one to our liking and drove the Pella salesman crazy trying to specify and order a custom-made grill pattern. But they arrived and it was all worth it to see one sitting in its opening on a trial basis (still need to do the exterior trim work), and to see how much more light is in the kitchen already!
