East Face: Before

The window in the foreground will come out and be replaced with what we're calling a "pop-out" or "bump-out," but which is essentially a cantilevered (i.e., no supporting foundation) extension to the kitchen. It will house pantry space and a pair of new windows overlooking the front walkway.

You can see in this photo the original and newer electrical hookups (left and right, respectively). Both of those will be ripped out (and a new meter relocated) to make room for the bump-out.

The far window, along with the two smaller kitchen windows, the bathroom window, and a window on the South wall will be replaced with low-E double-pane versions. When we bought the house it already had new windows in the basement and second floor. After the remodel plans came back we realized that the finished house would only have five original single-pane painted-shut (ech!) windows. One of the goals of our project is to keep the house warm in winter using as little energy as possible, so replacing those last original windows is now part of the scope.
