Rhett & Leah currently share a room upstairs (there are only 2 bedrooms upstairs). Well, that needs to change before this baby arrives in April! In order to move them (at least Rhett at first) to the basement bedrooms, we needed to have escape windows installed. Here's a look back at the project (just almost completed Friday).
Although we missed seeing the hole dug, the kids did enjoy climbing on the dirt pile.
The foundation was cut, pulled out and broken up to make room for the new windows.
You can see the forms for the new window wells in the picture above. The kids loved to see the big concrete mixer come to the house.
The concrete forms had a brick pattern to them.
Rhett slept through most of the back-fill process even though it was right outside his bedroom window!
All that's left to do is put up wall board in the bedrooms, replace the bottom piece of siding, and build the well covers and ladders. Only 19 more weeks for that to get finished!

Looks great! Those 19 weeks will go fast so Benj better hop to it. Our neighbors put in similar windows in their basement which are a very nice addition.
Looks great. I didn't know you were planning to put those in...but I'm glad you are! Can't wait to see you soon!
