Our New Windows

   We had Pace Windows and Doors here yesterday and had the four bedroom windows replaced and the dry rot around them removed. 

The frames and sills outside had to be rebuilt...especially in this 1st photo.  Rain water always runs off the porch and house roofs and covers this window,  and ice usually builds up around and over the electrical

box.  Jeff's going to put a 'rain dam' on the roof above that window in an effort to divert the water.  (Hope that works!) Then all the frames and sashes were clad in aluminum.  Look pretty good, don't they?  It

took the guy from 10am until 8:30pm to do all four windows...and at the end he was working in the dark and rain!  He

asked if he could keep working rather than come back today. He lives in the Finger Lake region, 

a 3 1/2 hr. drive, and when it got dark and he still had to finish 1 window he was willing to stay until it was finished!  The windows look much better and seem to be a tighter fit!  The curtains were not moving with the wind last night!  And since we had to move some furniture out of the bedrooms and take the curtains off the windows it turned into a good opportunity to do fall cleaning!  The curtains are nice and clean and the rooms look good...for awhile!  This morning I even cleaned dresser drawers. (Jeff did that last night!)  At least 2 rooms got done this year!  Oh, and the kitchen got done when I had the hee bee gee bees before the Cataract Procedure #1-the Right Eye.  Maybe I'm not such a bad housekeeper, after all.  I just need a good reason (or excuse) to do it!

Our house is not dirty white or lt gray, it's faded blue.  Not bad for a nearly 70 yr old house!
