And Then I Touched It.

Sometimes I wish our house was finished, just so we could live in it you know? But it's not! However, we did get all of the windows in, storm windows taken off, and the new windows caulked--which I even learned to do. I also assisted in taking off some of the storm windows...and successfully broke one of the huge ones. Glass. Everywhere. Yay, me!

Here is what our house looks like without all the nasty storm windows:

Our house on a prettier day!

Yay! Every time we drive by it I say hello and smile because it just looks so much better!

Sunday came around last week and My Honeypie was all like, "What do you want to do?" and normally we take turns picking/arguing about whose turn it is to pick. Except for this day I said, "Let's go take a walk at our house!" So we did. and found this:

Rwaaaar! It's a cow skull.

To the Window!

Dear Dad,

If you want to help with the windows, then you'd better get home fast! Apparently they are really easy to do. Actually, either way I think the big windows will still be around :)

Love,

Alisha

After My Honeypie finished the drainage last night, he installed our first new window! Actually, our first three new windows!

We so need to paint.

I didn't get a picture of the third window. Twas too dark! but we replaced the window to the right of the door.

I wasn't around for the demo when Window World came, so I asked My Honeypie to show me all the cool ish our window does:

After the demonstration My Honeypie went to install a couple more.

No, he did not pee on himself. He just got water all over himself from the spout outside.

That's pretty much it, but I am so in love with them!

Yay for Window World! and my hardcore Honeypie.

WINDOWS!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Can you feel my excitement?!

We got our windows yesterday!

This is how My Honeypie feels about that:

and apparently, this is how I felt about it:

 Here they are; 26 new, beautiful, double-pane, double-hung windows!

During our free quote the salesman actually stood on the window pane and lightly bounced on it...and it didn't break! So cool.

I'm obviously still so excited. This is going to weatherproof our house that much more! and make it look that much better. Yay!

If any of you are looking to get windows, I highly recommend Window World (Home of the Original $189 Replacement Window!). The above window cost the same as all of the other windows. How rad is that? It's so huge!

We have two of the so huge windows in our house. What's even more great about the new windows is they open more than the original ones!

I can't wait until they are installed! It was $2,000 dollars less to install them "ourselves"--I'll just be watching mostly :)

In the midst of waiting for our windows My Honeypie has been working on the drainage for our plumbing. We got a lot of help from his brother, Mark, which is so appreciated! I have pictures, just not today.

Holla!
