At the end of February, I got a call from the windows guys, informing me that windows are fabricated (in Poland), delivered to Latvia and they are ready to install them.
We agreed they will install them on Monday morning. As we kept spending our days in another part of Latvia, I asked to send me the final images.
After windows were replaced, a new concrete floor with an underfloor heating system was installed. Here are some pictures

These are so-called 6-pane glass windows

Once the windows were installed, contractors moved on and started preparing the floor for dry concrete (Estrich) with underfloor heating
