I misplaced my camera and did not get to take any pictures up to this point. I moved the sliding door to the outside wall and removed all the Hardie(R) siding. I then put drywall over the insulated walls. Notice the spot above the door. A window will go there.

Once the new custom window comes in I will install it and trim it out to match the rest of the house. The porch slab was sloped for water run off. It is problems like this that keeps me on my toes.

The window came in and I have it installed. I have to trim it out now.

My customer didn't want me to modify the outside trim. So I used a board to cut it to fit into the space between the door and the exciting trim. All have to do is paint it now.

A view of the inside shows the trim. I almost ran into a problem with the area between the door and the window. Luckily my experience kicked in. I use the top of the door casing for the window sill skirt.

The outside is done and all is painted. I was able to get a paint chip from the window manufacture so I could match the white paint to the window.
