|

| I'm noticing more and more that houses in our particular location will install the windows on the 1st and 2nd floors with the roof left off for a few days. Is this normal and what is the purpose of it. I've always thought the frame and roof goes up before the windows. |

| That is a little odd and I'm not to sure why they do that for. I'm interested in knowing the answer to this as well. |

| It pretty much depends on the builder. Some prefer putting the windows in early while others wait until the have the entire frame of the house up. |

| Some builders do and some builders don't We usually put the windows in after the roof and shingles are on. |
