Martin took the windows out of the west wall and rearranged some boards, which he will use to sheath the new section of the wall (to be built sooner).
He then framed in for the new window.
This storm window is being used to temporarily fill the hole until we get the windows for the whole house.
The window looks really high. The top of the old window was much lower than where the top of the new window will be. Also, you can see the original 6 x 6 sill that we are still using. The bottom of the joists are level with the top of the sill. With the flooring going on top of the joists, the new floor will be quite a bit higher than the old floor; therefore the window needs to be higher than the original.
