Day One

It is only Wed but it feels like a week has gone by since I came home from work at noon to help do some cleaning with the window people here. Ah, that was only yesterday! We have packed a week into one day with all that has been done. I guess this is the second full day, although they never got here till 11:30 am and John would say that half the day is gone - and I would agree with him. They left about 6:30 pm tonite but last night they were here till 9:30 pm. 

However, yesterday, they got all the windows on the main floor in and only had a few adjustments for them today. The rest of the day they put the windows in the basement (eight of them) and had to do some work getting them out but but they are done and look great. They were also able to get our back door - a patio door with mini-blind inbetween the panes. When the blind is fully open, it looks like the door is open to the deck! It looks great!  Tomorrow they do the front door which includes the side window and the facing on the back door as well and then they are done! He said he would be here at 8 am but I wouldn't bet the family farm!

I went out this afternoon to buy new hardware for these new doors as we have brass and the glass for the front door and the hinges on the back are peuter. So...we now have new hardware and new keys! Thought I might as well get them all made at the same time.

The next thing will be deciding what blinds or curtains I should get for the new windows. The trim on all of them has these beautiful rosets on each corner so they are 'stand alone' windows but I need something to cover them up at night. Oh what to do....

I will sort through the pics I have been taking so I can do a 'before' and 'after' but until then..the suspense heightens.
