Window Installation Part 1

Last weekend we started installing two new windows in our Kitchenette, I thought we'd be able to wrap it all up in one weekend....not so much! Yet another reminder that home improvement projects will take about 10 times as long as you think they will.  We were only able to get one of the windows installed but it was the window that was going to take the most work. 

Here's the play by play - we have an exterior door in our Kitchen/Kitchenette area that we hate. We removed the door, framed the space for a window and installed the window (Wow, when I write it out it seems so much easier than it was).

The Before...



And the door is gone!

And now to take out the door frame...
