Yard Work Part III . . . New Windows Part I

Well, we are finally (almost) done with our yard. Today we got up extra early to beat the winds (which there was still a very cold breeze even at 6am) and covered, lined and had the rock delivered for the other half of our front yard. Because of how big this side of our yard is, the rock deliverer was able to spread it out a lot more for us, which will help with the final spreading of it. We have invited all of our family over for a BBQ on Friday to help us with the final spreading!

Half the rock delivered - already looks 100 times better!

Now on to the wInDoWs. As I stated in my first yard work post, not much has been updated in our house since it was built in the 1930's, of course really everything has still worked well - so why fix it, right?? Well our small (just over 1000 square foot) house has 18 windows - and not small onces, but really big ones, which are great for light, but since they are single pane, horribly inefficient. We have decided to begin replacing them this year, starting with the nine in our dining room, living room and third bedroom (this bedroom is included because it contians 4, is whatever temperature it happens to be outside and is Ky's future room). Like everything in this house, nothing can be done easily, so measuring the windows turned out to be pretty tricky. The biggest obstacle is that they plastered all the way to the edge of windows, so we had to chip through that to find the actual jams. So, to get to the point already, we are now on our way to Fernley to order windows at the Lowe's there! Who knew I would ever get so excited about new windows!!
P.S. for those who don't live here in Fallon, our temp's have gone from about 80 degrees yesterday to only 50 today! I really don't think this should be allowed!
