After a long, hot week, all 14 windows, and the sliding glass door have been replaced.
We have windows that open! And they have screens!!!! The cats and I are absolutely thrilled!!!
The team (just two guys) soldiered through the blistering heat all week. I am amazed with their work. They still have to come back on Monday to finish capping the windows on the outside.
They got four capped on Friday – don’t they just look so great?!?! And did you notice something???
No more awnings over the windows. The window guys helped me convince Dave that they didn’t need to go back up. It was actually the fact that they would have to be screwed into the window frames that did it.
Here’s a little side-by-side of the house when we bought it, and how it looks now.
I love all the changes we’ve made. Eventually, we’ll replace the siding. And when we do, I’d like to have shutters added to the windows.
And the absence of the awnings doesn’t just make the outside look better.
I love how much light those big windows let in to the livingroom! I did have to go get some curtains to close over the blinds because Dave was complaining about the glare on his tv in the morning.
And now that the windows are in… we can finally put up some trim and finally finish this room!!! (And Dave’s studio!)
All in all, it was a lot of money to shell out, but every cent is well worth it!

Windows that open, stay open, and screens too?!?
WOW!
Some of ours need a stick to stay open, or a hammer, or a old pickle jar…

That’s just how I felt when I got my new windows. I couldn’t believe that I could just open a window without getting out the tools…lol. They look amazing. Your indoor plant will be so happy!

You’ll notice a difference in your heat bill this winter, too. Window upgrades are a good investment.

Your new windows look terrific!!! I get the point of awnings but your house looks so much prettier without them. As I looked at the two photos, I was thinking how much more light you would have inside. Shutters will be an awesome touch when the siding replacement comes to the top of the project list. I love how you guys are transforming/restoring the house.

New windows for the win! We love ours. We used to have casement windows with no screens (they opened like doors). Getting new screened crank casement windows was such a huge win for us. Double glass, much warmer and quieter, too.
Congrats!
