Home Upgrades – Windows

The first project I signed a deal on was the windows, way back at the beginning of February! All of the windows are custom sizes, which means expensive.  This endeavor cost nearly twice as much as our next most expensive project, the cabinets!  However, we will be able to reap the tax benefits when we file for 2010!

Earlier this week they came to install them and they are so much nicer than the old ones!

They don’t exactly match the old one’s but it’s as close as it can be for 2010.  We aren’t living in 1986 anymore!

One of the problems with the old sliding glass door is that they are too tall for today’s standards (has to do with hurricane winds and such).  So, the new sliding glass door is about 10 inches shorter than the old door.  Some re-framing needed  to be done inside and out.
