It has started! 10.06.15

 
      The contractor arrived this morning to install our new windows. They told us to clear out around the windows at least 2 feet for the workers to have room. They said things hanging on the walls should be removed so they don’t get broken. I now know why! They are using knives, pry bars and hammers to remove the old windows. They have shook most of the house removing the two back windows. Let’s hope they can install the new windows in a quieter manner.
Above we see the before photo of one of the back bed room windows.
Below we see a hole in the wall where the window was.
And below that we see a finished window!
When Alex saw the windows for the first time he noted that all the windows, “have the darn sticker on them”.  He then proceeded to ask the installer, “how much money”, in an effort to find the cost. The installer thought that was very funny.
We like the new front window as seen in the photos below. First is the before shot, then the in progress shot and finally the completed shot.
 
 
 
My present spouse will be picking up aluminum cans from the roads every day for the next two years and that includes weekends. She said the new windows are worth it. She will return home each day before dark, we don’t what her being injured and not be able to collect the cans.
We also need to get new window dressings, I may have to get a job!
 

It is finished!

 
We hope your projects are economical, and successful!
