Look Through My Window

This is another "Attend" post of dealing with something that has been kicked down the road for fall too long.

The fall before last (so 2023!) our front storm window literally gave up the ghost — the muntins broke, it slumped, and fell out of the window frame. Luckily, it was a storm window, so the main window was still there.

(Winston looks very concerned...)

We looked at tons of salvage places for a replacement, but windows of that time period are very specifically sized, and ours was...large...

So finally we connected up with Hayes and ordered a new front window, which was not cheap but is gorgeous (and should be very long-lasting)!

They measure, and come to fit it, and then take it back and perfect it, all of which I appreciate because we have a garage full of storms that don't fit due to the company mis-measuring them. Here they are in the first fitting over the winter.

Here's the final product!

From the inside, you can really tell the difference of without the storm and with it:

We also have been doing some work in the front to take down the rotting pergola and cut down some of the weed trees that have grown, so I guess we're getting ready for spring?
