What about caulking, flashing and molding? I guess our reframing is what took most of the time, but still…2 days?

PS: Love your blog too. How’s that new dog??

We replaced the windows in our 112-year old Victorian frame house a couple of years ago with the energy efficient Pella Windows that qualified us for the tax credit. They had to re-frame a couple of openings, because we wanted the windows to more closely resemble what it looked like in the NYC tax photo of the house from the 1930s.

We got the windows from Lowe’s, and the installer was actually really terrific. They were on sale, but they all had to be custom made, but still…it only took them about two days to do the installation. We were concerned about drafts, as well, so we made sure that they put insulation in all of the weight pockets. That was great, except for the fact that we’ve since learned that there’s no insulation whatsoever in any of our walls. So, our windows are more energy efficient than our walls, at this point. Somewhat ironic.

Great post! Keep up the good bloggin’!
