More windows scored!

LH and I took another trip to a surplus building supply warehouse today and, unbelievably, found 4 identical new windows that are ideal for the dormers (see photo in previous post). I thought for sure we would have to end up special ordering them because of their uncommon size (17" tall x 36" wide), but there they were, and in a bargain bin no less. They are built to be installed as casement windows (which open like a door), but after quizzing the owner, (kudos to LH for asking the right questions!) and thoroughly investigating them, we concluded they could be installed sideways, to operate as awning windows (which open like a doggie door, hinged on the top). So, instead of spending almost $900 on specially ordered windows, we got exactly what we wanted for $338.
