NEW WINDOWS.!!

I'm sooo excited.!! I went away for the weekend and look what the "window fairy" left me.! These are my new gorgeous living room windows. They are six feet wide and five feet tall. The lower window opens and is eighteen inches tall. I had never seen this style before.! Thanks for showing them to me Chris.!!

Out with the icky OLD and ......

IN WITH THE NEW.!! I absolutely LOVE the new windows. When you stood in front of the old windows it was hot hot hot inside the house. Now when you stand in front of the new ones, it's so nice and comfortable. I love the light tint on them as well. Dad says the house looked "not so bad" until we put these in. Now he says we "put a crystal chandelier in an outhouse" hahahaha.!! Siding has to wait tho. I want plumbing and electrical done first.

Thank you dear hubby for getting them in today. Thank you Brit for your help, and thank you Tim and Francis for your help as well. They're a super nice couple that live just up the street and stopped by today to help us out. And thank you dad for helping pay for this set.! :o)

Finished WINDOWS~!~

They're IN.!! Love love love my new windows.

Hard to believe we were able to scab together the siding and make it look decent. It will be a while before we can replace it, so we made it look as good as we could.

This is the window right over my kitchen sink. After we got the window in, I noticed some black spots on the right window pane. I tried to wipe them off, unfortunately they were BETWEEN the panes of glass. They were tiny, tiny, so I could have lived with them. But then on the left window pane I noticed what was either a scratch or a crack in the glass. I removed the screen and yup, it was a deep scratch. Chris from Clearwater Glass where we got the windows happened to stop by later that afternoon so I showed the window to her. She was very apologetic and told us not to remove the window. She said she would call first thing Monday morning and they would send new glass for both sides out and they would even replace the glass for us. Apparently the Low E that was sprayed on the window spotted. She also said that it would continue to spread so it's best to replace it right now. I love it when people are so helpful.! And it just so happens, Chris, who is doing the windows, is married to Paul, who is doing our plumbing.! Small towns....aren't they great.?

Best Plumber EVER.!

Lars, Pauls son, helping out with the plumbing. He just graduated the previous weekend. Such a terrific worker.!

Didn't get Pauls pic for the blog, but I did get his truck. Him and Lars got all the plumbing roughed in in just two short days. Now they are waiting on us to put back in the walls we tore out and moved so they can finish their plumbing job. Hopefully dad and I can get everything done this week that needs to be done so Blake and I can get the walls up this next weekend and the plumbing can continue.

First Piece of Sheet Rock

JUNE 7, 2012 ~ A really exciting day.!! Our plumber, Paul said he needed to have this wall sheetrocked before he finished his plumbing. If we did it now, it would be so much easier than if we waited.

We got both pieces put in woo hooo.!! But now it really makes me want to put up MORE rock.! Patience, I know....never was my strong suit.!

NEW WINDOWS

I'm soooo thrilled to have my new windows in the house. They aren't in yet, but at least I have them. Just the kitchen at this time.

I absolutely LOVE my new windows. We went with the white vinyl instead of a colored windows just because white goes with everything and right now, I'm undecided about the color of the house. Dad says "grey and white" and I have seen some gorgeous grey and white ones, but I was thinking something with more color. We have some time to decide on a color tho.

Deck Long Gone

Watch that first step.! It's a doozy. We finally got the rest of the master bedroom deck taken down last weekend.

I can't wait to get the new deck put up and be able to sit outside with a cup of coffee and enjoy the sound of the creek.
