Windows! Double-paned! Not cracked!

What a concept, right? Non-cracked, double-paned windows that open and shut. Who'd have thought! Now just a few more need to be replaced, then the trim goes back on. No guarantees for 1st housewarming party the 28th, but maybe for the one on 10/12....

PS - Yes, I altered the colors on these pictures a bit, but they look more interesting that way (won't make the judgement of better, though).

House is painted

    

House is painted!  Windows arrive Friday (knock wood) and will be installed for the next two weeks.  Why 2 weeks, you might ask. Well, it's because of the work required to remove the trim before installing and replacing it afterwards, plus the painting of the window frames (though they do come pre-primed.  Housewarming party to happen soon (trying to figure out when - Jewish new year holidays "complicate" things a little bit).
