New Windows....Yeah!
Well we are finally done with the basement windows. We knew they were bad and needed to be replaced. I was just hoping we could hold off on them.
You could literally watch the leaves come in on a windy day. And the bugs had there own roadway from the outside to the inside. I started to use duct tape hoping we could just hold on a few more years, because we need a new roof too. We flipped a coin and the windows won. Besides the roofer said we might be able to hold off for another year, if we are lucky.
Here is a picture of one of the windows from the inside....(duct tape and all) No fair judging me on the dirty windows and all the spider webs. No one has ever accused me of being a clean freak, and these windows prove it!
And here is a picture from the outside...We also had to move the AC, and tear down part of the fence, so the excavator could get to the windows. No one said this would be easy.
There they are, the "leaves" just waiting for a windy day, so they can come inside.....
It might look small, but the excavator is great at digging big holes, it also makes short work of tearing up your lawn, knocking bushes over, Running over flower beds & pulling tree limbs down. Oh Well.....It was great entertainment for Erin and Mckai, they loved it!
After the holes were dug the cement cutter guy ( nice guy talks alot....and I mean alot) came and cut the 4 X 3 foot holes in the walls. Then the next guy came and knocked the cement out.
Huge hole in the wall.....4 in all to be exact. Much more light in the basement now...you don't even need to turn a light on during the day.
Yeah...the "New Windows" are in. I'ts nice to have them done.
We did have to put in extra supports above the windows because the new windows are over twice as big as the old ones. Yep I really like the new windows.

Yeah for Trick-or-Treating.....
We headed over to Brandon and Mandy's house for some goodies and trick or treating on Halloween.
Mandy had the house all decorated, right down to the kitchen table....very cute! The big pumpkin in the back Mandy carved in the shape of a Moose Head (Mckai just had to have a moose carved pumpkin)
Mckai loved passing out candy to the trick or treaters.
Mandy made Mckai's costume....its a Horse of course! Mckai wanted us all to be horses, so we would be a "Herd of Horses". He just cracks me up!
Now it's Mckai's turn to go trick or treating.
Erin was an Angel, but if we went to a house were the person who answered the door was dressed up, she refused to get a treat from them....too funny.
Yeah for Trick or Treating......I just Love Halloween!
