Waiting on the Windows

Back in October, Mike ordered 12 windows for the addition. We expected they would arrive within two weeks, but it is now the middle of December, and we are still windowless. The manufacturer is completely overwhelmed with orders due to the tax credit being offered if certain types of windows are installed before the end of the year.

Even if we receive the windows soon, installation will be difficult. Here's why:



Some of the materials used to install windows (like sealants or adhesives or other stuff I don't know about) are only viable above a certain temperature. If we don't experience a thaw, then Mike plans to cover the addition with a tarp to heat the space. And that will be a big pain!
