Destruction,er...um.....Construction?

Below is the "before" photo. I was sitting in the living room with the kids and when we heard the roar of the saw, followed by a thud. I had mentioned to my husband earlier that day, that I would really love it if he got the window installed, but I thought he would be busy all night working on the bedroom doors. I ran downstairs and saw the large hole pictured below. The thud was the siding falling to the ground. I ran outside to further check out the hole. The first thing my husband said, through the hole, was, "is it centered?" WRONG question to ask after the hole is already cut! He then said, "if it's not....I'm in trouble!" Nervous laughter.....Well, it was perfectly centered! Way to go Mr. Home Improvement Guru!!!
Next, the window was installed. We still need to buy the white trim to go around it. I love the window. It lets tons of light into our former dungeon of a basement. I am excited to keep the project progressing forward and more than ready to get the kids in their new rooms and the baby, almost 14 months old, out of my bedroom. I am starting to feel crowded with all 7 of us crammed into 1100 sq.ft. upstairs. It will be nice to spread out a little!
