Happy Holidays and New Windows!

All of our new windows have finally arrived and are installed.  Look at all the light in the house now!

First, Look at the new picture window- we matched it to the design of the original, but its much more energy efficient...


The addition, with Julia's new windows.  On the side you can see the new bathroom window, with board and batten siding in place

Kitchen windows and the door to the porch.  Everything is insulated now, so drywall is on the way...

The glare on the right is from the new office windows...

You can just make out the new fireplace on the porch, through the glare.

A better photo, showing all the daylight pouring into the house now.


Julia's new room, insulated and windows in place.


New window in an old room- this is our new playroom/TV room...

Jake's room with all new windows.  Definitely brighter than it used to be, and cozier too.

Our new porch with the new door to the living room...

Kitchen and office windows from the backyard

The porch from the backyard.  Cricket's doggie door is in place and ready to go! 

We had spray-foam insulation installed throughout the house- this is the roof over Julia's new room.  Should be much more efficient year-round.  Next stop, drywall!
