Let there be light!

It seemed only right that the Poetry Barn had its new windows installed on the darkest days of the year. On Monday, December 21st and Tuesday, December 22nd — the winter solstice — three fine fellows from Pella installed three fine windows on the ground floor, letting in the beautiful view. We could not be more pleased with the results! A second window was also installed in the top floor's back, mirroring the one existing window in the front, a small change that nevertheless made the space seem much, much larger! Check out the process below!

We now turn our attention to finishing off the second floor, along with getting heat into the whole beautiful shebang! Stay tuned as we count down toward our grand opening in Spring 2016!
