New window

On our endless list of things to change in our house is new windows. If anyone has ever researched window costs you will see why this one is taking us so long to complete. It's very expensive to replace windows in a house. We've decided to take it one window at a time. 

Our windows are original, which means they are forty years old with mostly no screens and several BB gun holes in them. Some of them do not open, some slam, and some are cracked. These windows have seen better days. 

We started with the dining room window as it had cardboard over the broken portion. This was easily going to be our most expensive window because it is so big.

The window when we first moved in. 

You can almost hear it crying, "Change me!"

 I forgot to take a picture of the cardboard part...probably because it was such an eye sore.

You can see a tiny sticker on the left window that means that it doesn't open.

By chance, Chris was talking to someone who works at a local door and trim store in town and found out that they had one that they needed to get rid of. They offered it at a great deal and we couldn't pass it up.

Our new window!!

Chris took a day off work to install it with a little help from my dad. My handyman continues to outdo himself.

 It's so bright and shiny and really gives our house a facelift

 The other window to the left has darkening screens on it that came with the house.

Can you see how much better the house looks with the window on the right??

Now we need another one to match it.

That's one window down, ten more to go!
