Windows!

For those of you whom we have not bored to death with stories on our house, I get to tell you about our windows.  When we bought the house, we were very excited that it had new windows.  Windows are expensive, so we were glad not to have to make this purchase.  We still are, but the first two winters we made interesting discoveries.

Discovery #1  The windows in the upstairs would let in snow, wind, and rain.
Discovery #2  The windows were held in by nothing except the simple wood trim.

This summer, with the help of my parents, some friends, Vahid's brother and friend, and whoever came to the house willing to help, we have been changing those very problems.  Plus, we spray painted the shutters (they look wood but are plastic) and finished the project of painting/sealing the woodwork around the big windows.  This time it was the front (west) of the house, the living room big window has trim on the outside.












You'll see the finished product shortly.
