Jeff framed in the window...had to remove the center stud (which is blocked from view in this picture) & make the frame, then cut the hole...which was scary.

Jeff & Em's Attic Window
Yes!! We finally got our window in, and our hands hurt. It took about an hour and half. I had to stand inside and level the window with shims and keep it from falling out, and Jeff stood on ladder outside and the hammered in the flanges...which was hard because he had to do it UNDER the siding. I kept dropping tools into the insulation and Jeff's fingers were freezing, but we finally finished, and it was worth it!! The hardest part of our attic room project is done (or would that be the stairs? We'll let you know!)

That looks so awesome. Can't wait to see it when it's finished. How long do you think it'll take?
Thanks! I don't know...we hope to have it done by mid-summer. We'll have to see how far our monthly cash allotment goes!
I didn't know how involved it would be...we have to reinforce the floor joists so they can support weight and move back the angled studs to give us more space in the room. Then Jeff has to cut a hole in the floor and put in a stairway from the study up to the room. It needs to be a steep angle that won't take up too much space, so he's doing a "lapeyre" stair with alternating treads. He's going to build it himself. Scares me but so far he's done great. :) It's kind of fun to dream of what it will look like!
