window reactions

The new windows were mounted with sills 8" higher than the old ones so that it would be tougher to see in and we would have some more privacy in the bedrooom. The windows are larger than the old ones, so the top of the window was also raised around 10 inches. Some reactions:

[With the new higher mounted windows] "...you'll have so much more sky view and less rooftop view." -Stu, architect

[With the new higher mounted windows] "...you have so much more usable wall space under the window sill." -Robert, expert carpenter and window installer

[With the new higher mounted windows] "...it has ruined my vision of laying in bed and looking at the water, but I guess I'll learn to live with it." -the client
