Even in January!

From time to time, someone will ask if we do windows in the winter time. Their concerns are valid as there are way more cold days than moderate days December through February. A window removed from a north wall on a cold windy day could be a little frosty to those lounging around in their PJs while our guys do their work. But, unless the weather is in the teens or below, and providing we're not stomping around in six inches of snow, we are always able to get our jobs done.Such was the case yesterday. It was a little chilly when we started out, but the highs ended up near 50 degrees. We always work on one window at a time, removing the old unit, prepping the opening for the new window, setting it, and then trimming and caulking as needed. Yes, things are opened up but only for a few minutes before we have the new window in place.

These were Simonton double hung windows in the new driftwood color. Chuck and Orey are putting the finishing touches on the last window. Yes, that is insulation Orey is stuffing around the window. Makes no sense to have energy efficient windows without an energy efficient installation!

Check it out, Chuck....is it level?Yup....right on the money!

This picture shows the caulk we use. It is a tri-polymer that is clear, and looks nice on even the toughest of caulking jobs. (It doesn't hurt that our guys are pretty good with a caulk gun!)

Checking everything out....all is in perfect working order.

Check back tomorrow for some pics about the upcoming Green Country Home and Garden Show at the Exchange Center at the fair grounds. The show runs from Friday through Sunday. More details tomorrow!
