New Windows

We've known for some time that we wanted to eventually replace all of our 2nd floor windows. They were all originals from the 1930's and definitely needed to go. Some of them you could open, but had to prop up with something as they wouldn't stay up. Um... can we say TODDLER FINGERS! I would never allow them to be propped for fear of cutting off a little pinky should someone knock out whatever was holding it open. We finally pulled the trigger and had half of them done this week with plans to do the other half in a few months!

This collage includes pictures of Derek taking down the blinds as well as pictures of the old, crusty windows. And yes, that's a cord. It was how they used to prop them up in the good 'ole days, kinda like a pulley system. 

You can hardly see how decrepit the old windows were in this picture, but it's like night and day with the new ones!

And here's how one of the completed windows look...clean, shiny white and really nice!

I can't wait to open them all up when the weather begins to cool down and enjoy some fresh breeze!
