Our first window (sort of!)


We are using a neat product called Vbuck to buck out our windows and doors before the concrete is poured into the basement walls. Here, Dwayne and Jeff have pieced together the first window frame. Rebecca was great at providing some entertainment!






Jeff and Jacob carrying the window frame to the wall to install it in the right spot.











The frame was hoisted up over the walls and then slid down into place.









Dwayne checking out the frame after it was placed. The concrete, when poured, will go around this frame and the windows will then attach directly to the Vbuck. This is supposed to save time over having to buck the windows out with wood and then removing the wood after the pour.








No, it isn't the fly! It's just Dwayne in his safety goggles!
