Windows

Last Wednesday I got a call from our local Alumanline saying that our windows had arrived. They were nice enough to make some special arrangements to have them delivered on Friday so that I could put them in over the weekend. Unfortunately I found out on Friday that the glass sliders hadn’t arrived yet. Saturday my Father and Brother in Law came down from Cache Valley to help out. Putting the windows in was a real breeze, I think it took us about 4 hours to get all 9 windows cut out, flashed and installed. It’s amazing to see how much light the let in. I can’t wait to get the sliders in, and the back door.

I’ll give exact numbers later, but the cost for two glass sliders, 9 windows and two skylights was about $7,500. Definitely one of the bigger expenses in the whole project, but so worth it.

    wow, these look so cool. Nice job getting these put in so quickly. I envy your do-it-yourself abilities. You seem to be having so much fun doing all this.

    Fun, is one word for it I guess.

    No, it really is fun, just stressful sometimes. I’m feeling pretty spread thin these days.

    Did you shop your window prices?

    The windows look really great. I’m now researching replacement windows for our house built in 1955. We have HUGE fixed windows and old aluminum ones throughout the rest of the house and I’m not knowing what to think about the vinyl look, which kind of appears to be the main option. It looks like you have aluminum, right? Was energy efficiency a big factor in your purchase? Look and efficiency are really important for me, and I’m not sure what my best bet will be. Any ideas?

    I’m really enjoying your blog, btw.

    Amanda, if you want Aluminum, then Milgard is really your best option. Aluminum if it is thermally broken is almost as efficient at vinyl. And it looks a lot better in my opinion.
