Window replacement time-lapse

I am fascinated by time lapse videos and decided to add another. 

We have a tiny cottage and discovered a covered up window opening when replacing paneling on a wall. Rather than go with a 28"x38" window to match the others, we decided to upsize to 4 30"x"46" windows. It is hard to describe how much more open it feels in the room. Enjoy (or not).

I know, I know, no headers. This is a tiny cottage that was built in the 40's. There was a gap above the stud above the old window frames. There wasn't one bit of sag. Taking my chances. My hunch is that it won't move for another 70+ years. The old T&G sheathing provided a ton of strength in these old places. You will snap a paddle bit trying to get through this stuff.

I used Anderson Silver Line windows here. They are very economical at about $120 per window (38" x 46"). This is a single hung window and isn't very well insulated (if at all). However, for a seasonal dwelling they are a perfect choice.
