While the window openings were being shaped, Justin was working feverishly (as he always does) to stuff any and all interior holes that were visible. With a bucket of loose straw fastened to his belt, and frequent refills of same, around the building he goes, seeking stuffing and sealing any openings in the walls.
While he was doing that, Andre was busy greeting the many visitors to the site. Our youngest son Rob and his girlfriend Celine got rained out of their maritime holiday by "Hurricane Bill", so as they had a little extra time, they visited and pitched their tent for a night before returning to Toronto. The electricians returned; the building inspector performed our insulation inspection, which we passed; several neighbors stopped by; the project manager stopped by with drywall contractors and site-visitors; the concrete guys returned to execute a fix to the garage slab; and friends drove out to visit. And it's only Wednesday!!
While all of this was going on, I got a start cutting the window sills. We used a router to cut a dado on the underside of the sill, a circular saw with a guide to rip-cut the full depth of it's blade to meet the dado, a second circular saw to cut to length and shape and finally a jig-saw for the rounded corners and to compete the saw cuts. Each sill was done one at a time, start to finish.
I am not posting any pictures of the operation itself, as I sustained enough grief over my router "ensemble". But I will show you the weapons of choice and some of the sills.
