Today my son, my son-in-law, two grandsons and my daughter came and assisted me in installing the sliding door. It is heavy and awkward to handle and in addition is about 6 feet above the ground so it took some doing to get it in place.
The door is the type with the blinds built in between the glass panes.

The rest of my windows arrived. I installed the bathroom & kitchen windows:

And, I got my first window installed. This window is in the east wall gable. It is a non-opening window as it is way up high. The west end gable, in the loft, will also have a similar octagonal window but that one will open.
