I located this window at one of our regular haunts- The Rebuilding Center in the Mississippi neighborhood of Portland (http://www.rebuildingcenter.org/) & bought it on the spot. I didn't know if it would fit or could be made to work... I just knew I had to have it. The Husband & I collect architectural elements- doors, windows, balustrades, columns, banisters etc) & we have redone our house using recycled materials. The husband & our friend Pete installed it & I always make myself scarce when there is major construction. I was told that "it wasn't easy...but we were gonna make it work, damn it!". Here are before & after pictures from last summer's project & another view of how it looks now, just a few days from Summer 09. This new window really opens up the view of the back garden. I enjoy seeing all the birds at their many feeders & in the birdbath. I appreciate having a "handy" husband. All his training as a set designer pays off (he is still at heart- a set designer; he never finishes that parts of projects that "the audience can't see".
