The new windows and doors are finally in after three days work, for which I had to stay up for and then work all night, so sleep has been a luxury this week. The windows look great and we expect great things out of them not the least of which is the end of puddles of water from condensation forming on the glass. We have been assured that they will also make the house a lot cozier warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. A feature we got which we didn't have before is openers on the living room window. This should allow for nice cross ventilation through the living room which will be nice on those hot summer days. We had the living room and kitchen windows cut down a few inches each to afford a better view and what a difference it makes. Now we have to start looking at new drapes, blinds, etc............
Nice rainy day today which ordinarily would not be acceptable but on this occasion I didn't mind as I was asleep for all of it and I didn't have to worry about watering the lawn.
