we're getting new windows!

At last! It's been a desire of ours for the past 10 years since we moved into this house. Finally, after getting out of debt, paying off the last loan, and getting our finances in order we saved up enough to pay for it.

I wrote a check for the 50% deposit today. It was great to just write it out and know that it was not going to be a strain on our budget or a stress in our life to pay for. And in 5 or 6 weeks we should be getting them installed.

We went with Window World, which had the best price on what we wanted.(double pane, double hung, tax incentive) From what I could see there were no major differences in the various companies we looked at, and one of DH's co-workers recommended them.

Congrats. Am sure you will love them and see a big difference in your heating bill this winter. Good timing on the install!

~Great news! We too saved up and installed new windows this year. One of the best purchases we've ever made!
Did you get wood or vinyl?~

Congratulations! I bet it is wonderful to be able to walk in and buy what you want knowing you are not going to be stressed by the cost.

Enjoy those new windows!!! We did our windows and doors this summer. I am very curious to see the difference in heat bills.

I loooove our new windows. It has this film on the glass that keeps out the glare and they're so easy to care for. You can't open them without this special handle and they open on one side, come with a nice screen and were pretty easy to install.

Enjoy!
