New Windows...Yeah!!!

All of you know how much I've been wanting new windows in my house. Well, with interest rates being so low, I decided it was time to refinance. I also added some in to the loan so I had money to redo my windows. Upgrading from my wood framed, single-pane windows to vinyl, low-e, double-pane windows has been a while in the process! Here are some pictures during the process:
I decided to go with Clear Choice Windows. It's a company owned and operated by one guy. He gets his friends and family to help him. He came with his son. They showed up shortly after 8:00 a.m. and by 9:30 they had the two front windows gone and one replaced. Do you see anything missing?? Perhaps the entire front window. I'm just glad the weather was nice and cooler. My house would have been steaming.
Here he is ripping out one of the side windows in the dining room.
I tried to just stay out of their way. I spent the day weeding, mowing, weeding, watering my garden, and oh, uh, weeding. It was nice though. I don't have a lot of days to spend in bluejeans. I love what I do with work and other responsibilities, but I do so enjoy and take advantage of these "Saturday"-type days when they happen.
Here's the final outcome!! Main floor done. Basement to be replaced in about a week. Yeehaw!!!
First day home from work after the windows were in I was greeted by something I never had before during the summer...cool temperatures. I couldn't believe it. It was AWESOME!!!
