New Eyes for The House

A Renovation Story RSS

So if eyes are the windows to the soul...then what are new windows?

Today Chris was able to get all the new front windows in the house. I chose Pella Architect series with six over 1 mullions which would have been what the house probably started with. The hare black steel on the outside and white alder on the inside - ready for painting.

This is the big window in the living room, the debate now is whether we will leave the bars on the outside or take them off.

This is a shot of the new windows in the third floor office, they will never be as clean as when the plastic has just been removed - so I will enjoy the clarity while it lasts. —Laurie
