The right side of the roof is ready for shingles….progress is slow, but progress nonetheless 😉

On the left is the window as the contractor installed it. It is missing support for the roof and there was no insulation around the window. The contractor did not pull permits, thus it was not inspected. When the inspector came when I called, the installation did not pass the building code requirements (as I suspected :P).

On the right is the window I installed. Note the change in structure.
There is good support for the roof. While waiting for new windows to come, my 2nd story had sunk almost 2 inches. I will add insulation, drywall, and molding after the inspectors come to approve the structure.
