Signed the Contract!

09/26/2010 This morning begins our journey. We signed the contract and handed over a check for the initial purchases. Ed will be back this week to measure and order the windows and take some measurements. We have decided to go with wooden windows to preserve the look of our house that was built in 1800. With painting, windows should last 200 years - well past our stay!

The worst of the front is over!






December 5, 2010
About two weeks behind schedule because of all the issues in the front of the house - it's an old house so we weren't surprised.  Replaced beam and sills along with a new foundation and pointing up the granite blocks have made for a much warmer house.  New door painted and installed.  Thank you Emily for your help with selecting the hardware.  New framing and windows in the dining room and Alex and Jeff's room on the second floor.  Sent Jeff a text of his room all torn apart before the windows were put in and all he could respond was "Wow!".  Don't worry, it will be put back together before you get home on the 18th!  (Kind of)
