Yay For Screens!

We bought our house last March so this will be our 2nd summer living here, and I am hoping that this year will be a better experience. With no A/C in our little bungalow, the next best option for keeping cool when the mercury rises is by opening windows and turning on fans. We've got the fan part pretty well covered in our home, but it was the windows that were tricky.

Out of the 11 windows on our main floor, only 2 of them had screens. This left us with the difficult decision - do we: 1.) melt in the sweltering heat by keeping all but these two windows closed? -or- 2.) let every disgusting flying/creeping creature/insect/bug into our house? It was tough to weigh those options and we usally did a little of both depending on how miserable we were at the time. Now, however, after all of David's hard work, we are going to have the best of both worlds - fresh cool air and avoidance of creepy things!

The latest installation was the big living room window on the south side of our house. Here is David working to remove the two old windows:



Here is David clearing out the "hole" to make room for the new single window:



Now it's all ready for sealing, trim, and paint!




We've been enjoying the fresh air already! =)
