Furnace is in. Electric is in, 10 AC outlets!

Laminate floor 80% down. Have stopped by the door for the winter season.

Did you order from TTT, and have you tried the string method?

When I was renovating my 1950 Royal Mansion, I ordered my windshield windows from TTT and have been very pleased with them. They were also shipped with the correct gaskets. Finding the correct gaskets is half the battle.

Used 12/2 and 14/2. I do not expect a great load to be demanded. Small appliances and such.

did you buy those windows for 750 from that one guy and they did not fit....
Yes, the windows come over sized you need to trim to fit. You see, the 46's have square corners. We tried string with soap silicone and dry, heat and pretty much every trick in the book and a few more. The square corners cause excessive force and when it gets to about 1/2 way around, just when you think you might make it, the window starts to pop back out. Too hard to hold it in place. I know now why the factory learned its lesson and went to rounded corners in '47. Not TTT's fault. I know the design is prone to leak. So I will build a new frame inside and out and sandwich the window between with some really good gasket material I have.

also...do you plan to stain the walls once in place...
Yes, However I must say I found a plastic type of wall covering for the ceiling and the galley area walls.

thanks
