House Project: new glass for a few windows
We had glass replaced in five windows this week, and I’m STOKED about it! The seals between the double pane glass were broken in a few windows, so they were fogged over between the glass and appeared dirty all the time. It embarrassed me – especially because two of the windows were ones you see as you pull up to the house. I SWEAR I CLEAN MY WINDOWS.
But they look dirty no more!
It’s difficult to capture the fogginess (of course) but I think you can see it clearly (ha) here, in the dining room:
FIXED!
And these are the ones you could see driving in, in the guest bedroom:
FIXED!
Data cracks me up – when we first moved in and had people doing loud work in the house, he’d hide under the bed. Now? He sleeps through it on the couch while the work happens behind him! He’s a construction pro!
Of course, I wrote this, then the next day, Data and Khali were both scared out of their minds by the snow sliding off the roof. Funny that this guy doing loud work with a Dremel didn’t bother Data, but the snow does.
More work needs to be done on the windows, and some other glass, but it feels good to have this done. Bit by bit!

I’ll bet changing out those windows will keep the house warmer too.
I hope so!
Funny how easily you can see the flaws and defects in person but it’s hard to translate them to photographs – but your new windows do look super clear, plus, I love the windows themselves. Nice size, nice frame.
LOL at Data – cats, I swear…just when you think you have them figured out, they go and change!
Isn’t that funny, though? Like I notice them every day at the house and they are transparent in most photos. Ha. Thank you!
Ha! Exactly! Cats are creatures of mystery 🙂
Oh wow, that makes a big difference! I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned my windows…oops!
Does it help with insulation as well?
It suuuuuuuuuuuucks to do. It takes me a long time to do all ours!
It should help a little with insulation!
