This week I had new windows installed in half the house. All the windows on the north side, and the picture window in the dining room. You know your windows are bad when you can feel the air coming in around them and there's condensation on the inside. So - it was more than time.
I spent a very cold afternoon on Thursday with some fine gentlemen who did the install - cold because it was 20 degrees out, and of course they have to take the old windows out first out, including all the frames and hardware. They did all that before they put any new ones in, so it got mighty chilly in here for awhile. But it was a small price to pay considering the final result.
The windows are beautiful, insulated and sealed correctly, and double-paned. No more drafts and no more condensation. Hoo-rah!
There's still two more windows to go, plus the sliding glass door, all of which will require a little more effort than these. But they are all on the radar for next year. There are still some energy-saving projects to get to, such as insulation in the parts of the house that hang over the outside eaves, and a new water heater. All in good time I guess.
