Eagle Windows
We have Eagle windows. I am giving them a deliberate shout-out and link. We did not spec a brand of window, we just asked our contractor for the best value, and we got all wood double hung windows. They are spectacular. The only way they could match our original windows better would be to put ten layers of gloppy lead-based paint on them.
The Framers came by today and corrected the trim around the windows. Sill, drip cap, no board under the sill. What a huge difference this makes. I can't wait to move in and spend one lazy afternoon after another building wood screens for them.
But I wonder if this obsessive attention to detail means a have a little too much in common with a certain beaver.
(Props to Lauren for the heads-up on the article.)

Ha! I love the Onion. The details matter so I don't think you are obsessing. Especially when you are having it built it matters that it be finished the way you want it. The windows look great. I like that you didn't do vinyl too.
