We Need new "win-der's" (windows)

I really did not plan to buy a project - but upon closer inspection - we deemed that some of the windows needed to be replaced.  ("We need new winders") is tag line from Jack's wholesale windows...be we did not go with them - we went with Menards and Jeld Wen - and Doug and Kens winder - insterlation.

For family and friends too distant to appreciate the work, I share it here with you


 Two down one to go in the primed master bed room


 Doug!    What!..Oh you"re taking a picture...I forgot to smile!




 can you find Ken in this picture



 Doug & Ken's motto  "If they do not fit - we make them fit!

Seriously - by the 1970's you would have thought a square window opening would have been the norm



We mean business!

 Oh please just let us sit here and read the ads and eat and watch you work!



Okay - we will strip wall paper!

We are enjoying the windows...they look so much better - even without the trim installed.  However
Our whole house is in disarray!
The office has mattresses and doors stacked against the wall
The spare bedroom has a box spring and other night stands in it
Our bedroom is just primed and no trim or furniture
the bath room is stripped of wall paper
The living room has widow trim with nails sticking out of it in front of our other dresser
The family room has a dresser  in it and flooring stacked to be put in the sun room.

Or course with new windows - no blinds are up - so if anyone is looking they can see us run from one end of the house to the other in all manner of dress or undress - looking for clothing and other accessories...and if we need to keep the lights out for obvious reasons - there is a good chance I will impale some portion of foot or toe on a nail from the wood work piled in front of the dresser as I search for socks or other things

But at least we are having fun
