Upgrades

This business of being a home owner can be a lot of work. Actually, we don't mind. Upgrading our investment feels and looks good.
Our most recent purchase was new windows for the upstairs bedroom that will become Mike's office. We replaced the 30+ year old windows with nice aluminum clad wood Pella Architect 850 series windows.

Here is the before.



Old, icky windows





They let cold and moisture in



The installer ripped out the old windows and fortunately the sill was still good.


Ooh, moss isn't good though



We also discovered that this part of the house was made of repurposed lumber. This isn't a surprise, considering the age of the house. Both windows had post holes.





And here are the new windows, all wrapped up and ready to install.






We opted for a 6 over 1 grid to give the house a updated feel.




We really like it. The downstairs windows will be next!
