October Status Report

We haven't done anything major to the house since before we left for Kaua'i. The flooring in the spare bedroom, hallways, linen, closet and coat closet is down, thanks to my hardworking hubby. It has one coat of polyurethane on it, but still needs at least 2 more. We are waiting to do the third bedroom until the window is replaced. We made a major investment and purchased all new Jeld-Wen windows and doors at Home Depot. Our electric bills this summer were atrocious. Living in the desert with single-pane, aluminum frame, crappy glass windows is not energy efficient. The windows and doors will easily pay for themselves with the tax credit and savings in electricity. Yay for LoE (low emissivity), double pane windows with energy saving argon gas between the panes! The contractor we procured to install the new windows and doors will start about the second week of November, hopefully it will be all done in time for next summer.
