Not the most exciting blog topic but last week we had our windows replaced. The old dark metal windows with dark integrated grids were replaced with frames that were white on the inside and dark outside (to match the exterior.) Crazy long lead time as we ordered these in June and the installers anticipated a 14 – 16 week lead time. That turned into at 20 week lead time which, of course, had them installing on the coldest day of this Fall and the week when Joel was in MN.

The crew at one time was 8 guys and they installed all the windows in one day and the sliding glass doors the next.

So far, couldn’t be happier – double-paned windows filled with Argon gas for better insulation, treated with a low UV film to block some of the sunlight – the white color inside instantly brightened up the house and they seem to block a lot of noise, as well. Got a $1/sq. ft. incentive from the power company so that helped a little.

A bit of pre-work involved that Joel helped with – removing all the large blinds and moving furniture. Only one injury – me. Ouch! Cats never seem too inclined to help!
