Windows... shouldn't they fit?

At first we thought nothing would happen today, since it was 10:30 am...Our spy camera recorded a couple guys outside, who said they were going to install doors and windows so the room would be enclosed and the contractor could demo the kitchen wall tomorrow....

 Had to wait for roofer to show up and install weatherproofing film...

Looked like they were making good progress,

 


Neighbors Bob & Joan Pine stopped by to discuss the project and how the kitchen wall would be removed... engineer Bob was intrigued by the process...

Then workers discovered the doors were too big - see the overlap / extension on the right of the middle seam.  Solution seems to be to re-order the two end doors so they seal properly... won't delay construction however...

THEN they discovered the windows were 2" too tall and 2" too thin for the openings.    Whoops...

 


Lots of workers showed up to plan solutions - finally decided it will be easier to modify openings to fit new windows than to order new windows and wait month.  We agreed.

Tomorrow should be interesting...  need to re-cut windows, finish installing, plus new door on other end of room, plus spray for termite control and then start construction on temporary wall outside the kitchen wall to hold existing roof while they tear down the kitchen wall... waiting with baited breath.
