Windows and injuries

The good news or the bad?

Starting with the bad... I've now had my second of first-time injuries. First, it was two broken fingers from moving landscaping rocks back in May. The fingers are pretty well healed, though the middle finger still looks pretty funky.

The second injury was not as painful, but much more stupid. I went to the site in my work clothes (read: heels) and, violating common sense and previous experience, jumped down from the back of the house (where a deck will soon be), spraining my ankle.

I'm not completely laid up, but hobbling around and unable to run, jump (ha!) or do anything too physical. With the exception of dirt digging, which I managed just fine last night, to my dismay. What good is an injury if it doesn't get you out of all the really crap jobs?

Ok, that whining aside, we do have good news - the windows are going in!!! Siding, roofing, front and back porch, all a tedious if-then game, but will all be in progress in the next week. Pictures (as of today) below:
