Windows to the World!!

This old lady of a house was in desperate need of new windows.  Many had cracks, several wouldn't slide up and down, some were falling out of their frames... OK bunches were, and to protect ourselves from the winter, we had to cover them with a pretty thick plastic.  Imagine our surprise when the new windows arrived and were installed and we could actually see outside!!!  Which created another project - window coverings!

All of the windows made a huge impact - efficiency wise, and visually.  However, the kitchen window was a very exciting moment.  We decided to go with a much larger picture window for this particular window.  With some of the big changes we are making in the layout of the kitchen we really  need to be getting natural lighting wherever we can get it from.  

Here is the hole they made for this bad boy!

 Window is in!

Enjoying the view!

This is a very serious game!

After the windows were installed, which happened within a day and a half, the tedious work of wrapping the old trim work began.  It took several days to finish, but as you can see it has made a monstrous difference to the exterior of the house!
