I have been gone due to surgery on my neck and the fibromyalgia symptoms that have been worsened by the surgery. I will post more projects and fun stuff soon, so stay tuned!

Solicitors and New Windows

We just got finished with a nearly week long new window installation. We 'accidentally' purchased windows from a door to door salesman. We are usually anti-solicitor at our door. We like to seek out the items we purchase, we don't like them to come to us unasked for. However, as I was about to turn this couple of salesmen away, 'Solarban 60' popped out of his mouth. Being in a field related to construction, I knew this was a great window. Being the current owner of this 47 year old, leaky as hell, might as well open the windows for all the good they do, home, this looked like a great solution to a good portion of our energy costs. This site has a good explanation of Solarban 60's benefits. So, exhorbitant costs and all, we go ahead and order them. Six weeks later, we are the proud owners of brand new, beautiful and energy efficient windows. Now, our pellet stove heats the whole house and uses much fewer pellets in the process. Pics of pellet stove and beautiful handmade hearth to come when I get my husband to find the camera!
