We Can See!

The big project for this weekend was replacing 4 front windows: 2 in the garage and 2 in the house. The previous windows were some type of Plexiglas and probably hadn’t been cleaned in 20 years. They were covered in a nasty film. A few weeks ago it poured all day long and the windows fogged up so bad we couldn’t even see our front yard!

When you replace windows there are a few simple steps.

1. take out old window

2. cut the window trim to fit (measure twice!)

3. test if the window fits

4. put exterior adhesive all around the frame

5. Place window in hole and then screw it into the wall

The first two windows we replaced took a long time. By the time we did the living room windows the time it took was cut in half!

Notice the awesome black grid lines and the cloudy looking glass.

I LOVE the difference! And, I love that I can clearly see out the front now!
