Clarity Upstairs: New Windows

Last summer, we spent money held in escrow for new windows throughout the downstairs.  This year, we didn't have money in escrow, but we knew we had to replace the upstairs windows anyway.  (Why is it so much easier/more fun to spend other people's money?)

Not only were the upstairs windows failed (hard to see out of), but most of them were sealed shut and the ones that did open would slam closed guillotine-style…hardly fit for a house we are trying to get licensed for foster care.

We bought the cheapest windows on the market at $169 a piece for white vinyl that matches the downstairs.  We didn't install the windows ourselves, but we did replace the old aluminum blinds in the second bathroom with faux white wood blinds that look much better.

So, after two months of waiting, all the new windows are finally in.  Even thought they aren't fancy, they are much clearer, they cut down on outside noise, and help with energy savings.  Best of all, you get to keep your fingers when they open and close!
