Windows & Doors

For some reason, a month before the wedding date, I decided that I needed new windows and sliding glass doors. After two and a half years, I did not want to feel a draft at night anymore and this was clearly the right time to do this project!



I had 3 workmen come out and install vinyl double pained Energy Star windows and doors. It was cool to see them bring everything in and cut some of the outer layers to spec.



Upstairs Green Room Windows

The big window, old:



Now empty, for bringing in the bedroom sliding doors!



Now new, and actually closes!



The small window, old:



In Transition:



Now new, and opens and closes!



Bedroom Sliding Doors

This had to be brought in through the front upstairs windows, because the door was so big. Old:



Empty:



New and no more draft:



Downstairs Sliding Doors

I started off with this:



Then some work was done on the open space:



Now new, with an integrated dog door:



Kitchen Little Window

From old,



to new, with a fancy pattern:



It is nice to have everything new and working for the summer...hopefully this will help the heating bill!
