Let me know and feel free to stop by tomorrow if you want to see a job in progress..but the windows are in and you can get a great perspective of how it is going to look. The windows BTW are (5) Sliders over double glass transoms so pretty much all glass!
My wife and I looked at houses yesterday for the first time. We were surprized at the vinyl windows on some of the lanais. Without exception, every one we looked at had problems with separations and discoloration. What we saw was enough to convince us to use acrylic or glass. Others may have had good luck with vinyl, but we saw what we saw.
