Great Job
Beautiful use of windows. We built a log home 35 years ago and had Marvin Windows installed. Wonderful product. When designing our home, we wanted to take advantage of the South and Southwest winds to cool us off. With one " 5 foot crank out window" in our loft and one downstairs window open for intake air, I'll open the upstairs window about 5" and the wind will create an exhaust situation exchanging the air. The Crank Out opens into the wind....not the other way around. We can change the air in our home in 5 mins. We'll close up all the shades during the day and with our R-52 insulated roof, we don't need Air Conditioning.
That sunset is just the perfect background to a photoshoot of the house I should think! Side note though that the swimming pool looks much too small to do anything in though. One pull and you'd reach the other side!
