After pulling the great room window and sliders and then having to spray everything down with carpenter ant killer, while that dried the installers moved over to the kitchen picture window.

I opted to not have a shelf so it's flush
on the inside |
Looks good! After I took this picture and reviewed it I asked the guys to add one more trim piece at the bottom of the window to even it out and give it some bulk.
Then it was back to the great room windows.
The carpenter ants did a number on the center support posts to the degree that it was the windows and frames that were holding the roof up. It was expected that they would have to be replaced so no big deal
The installers temporarily inserted the left picture window (right center window in the pic) in order to seal up the house overnight. With the window temporarily in place, you can see in the next pic by the angled gap above the window to what degree the center supports had been eaten away allowing the wall and roof line to drop downward. You can also see the old aluminum cased support post on the left. The casing allowed the decay of the post to go unnoticed for years. They'll take this window out again along with the left side slider, level the opening and reinstall both.

| Wow! Quite a drop in the roofline! |
As mentioned, the Low-E tint component of the windows removes a significant amount of glare and will contribute to reducing heat transmission.
More to come....
