New Windows

13 windows and 1 "Arcadia door" (that's what we Arizona old-timers call "sliding glass doors") all replaced yesterday. We are thrilled. They look great, the crew was outstanding and now begins the putting back stage.

Here is the center section of the bay window in the kitchen coming out.

It was so fun having all the windows out. What a unique view we had...very clear and we were blessed with a mild and beautiful day full of sunshine and bird music (I know I said that yesterday).

Here is the installed window all cleaned and scrubbed and all the goodies put back. I guess I call this the "after".

After I took the picture above I zoomed out so you could see my dead, frost destroyed plants and my neighbors fruitful citrus. Occasionally a piece of that fruit will drop into my yard and I just eat it with joy.

Another after photo. I'll share more later. Now I have to get to work. You see, I'm not just putting everything back but doing a big sorting and clearing out. Then I think I'll follow with some bedroom painting. I'm talking a really big job since I have a tendency to put off and save way too much.
When I look out this window today I've seen the clouds roll in and we are expecting temps to dip into the 60's and 80% chance of showers Saturday. That's okay also; I don't get enough chance to wear a sweater.

Wishing you find your joy regardless of your weather.
Happy day, msk

A Beautiful Day for A Big Mess

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm so happy to have this mess since the result will be all new, energy efficient windows in our good Old home.

This is right by my computer as I type this. I've covered most of my desk with old bath towels in a small attempt to keep the dust and debris that is floating all around from damaging anything.

We couldn't have a better day for this opening experience. The sun is shining, temps to be in the 70's, the song of the birds is also floating inside. I love bird music.
More to come.

Feeling grateful.
Happy day, msk
