We finally have a window!!

After waiting 5 weeks for the window to come in, we finally were able to finish putting it in. Ryan started remodeling his "man's land" room down stairs in January and was able to get the ceiling and 3 walls finished. We then had to wait until this stupid window came in to finish the rest. We now can get rid of the huge dirt pile in our front yard from the hole dug for the window well. Hopefully we will still be able to get the sprinkler system done and lawn hydroseeded before it hits 100 degrees. For anyone that is planning on putting an egress window in their basement themselves the window well is more expensive than the window itself. I knew it was going to be big to be up to code but this is huge, now we have to buy a metal grate to put over it because it is right next to the front sidewalk leading to our front door. Wouldn't want a law suit for some little kid or drunk adult falling in the window well:) Hopefully soon I will be able to post pictures of our front yard completed.
