In the middle of this my hairdresser came as she has gone mobile. The rent in the salon she had went up over half. In April she marries and she and her future husband a building a house.
It seems strange having a hairdresser come to my home, but it was lovely. The men putting in the windows were tormenting the life out of me :) At least for them it was a site they probably had not seen, me with foils in my hair.
The finished product and part of the new windows which of course were not complete.
The guest room window but no glass in the middle.
What I call the Girls room (grandchildren) with no glass in the middle panel. Interesting how one can't see inside, only the reflection of me and two of the men.

The windows and screen doors before most of them were taken off.
The colour of the windows are Monument the same colour as the new spouting.
Janice, looks like a fun change in the house for sure. I'm looking forward to putting up some indoor plantation shutters, so will be showing these on my blog around the first of April.
ReplyDeleteI'll look forward to seeing your shutters.
DeleteThe transformation of the house is amazing. Looks good.
I would be quite excited about the new windows. We opted for a medium tint on ours but my partner wanted a darker tint. I argued, correctly I think, that it would cut the night time view down too much. I will be interested to know if you think the double glazing makes a heating bill difference.
ReplyDeleteNo problems with seeing out at dusk with the double glazed windows....the tint is dark, and we are told it will be warmer in the winter, so wait and see.
DeleteWow your house looks great. And you have a nice hairstyle. And you look like a typical teenager
ReplyDeleteThanks for both, I'm long gone past a teenager :) but I like my hair braided for a change.
DeleteLove big windows, as long as they open.
ReplyDeleteI like to catch the summer southerlies but living in Tasmania maybe not so important.
Merle....................
Yes the windows open each side of the large pane of glass. I open mine for the northern breeze...
DeleteTinting is a great way to reduce energy costs right?
ReplyDeleteSupposed to, so we see in winter how they go.
DeleteThe new windows will be lovely when finished. I would love to have my hair cut at home. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely. By chance the hairdresser comes to home. She lives in another city as does a few of her relatives hair here in Launceston after she's done mine. I think in the future she won't come, but lapping it up whilst I can.
DeleteExciting, new windows, yay! I would not want to be the person who drives new windows in a truck to their new home. Too stressful!
ReplyDeleteThose windows whilst travelling are in the back of the vehicle in such a way, they won't break..
DeleteWe had new windows put in about five years ago. It's made a big difference.
ReplyDeleteMakes a lot of difference, looks as if we have a new house. Seems many people have new windows no matter where we live. I'm hearing all the time...good for the economy.
DeleteHow nice! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good, we are pleased with the finished product.
DeleteI like the grey frames of the windows. In Tasmania is double glazing primarily used to keep out summer heat or winter chill? As you're quite temperate, I'm guessing the latter?
ReplyDeleteDouble glazed is used for both of those seasons, but more so winter even though it's not cold by some standards, it's cold to us if we get an odd 10degC day...yes, our climate is temperate.
DeleteLove your hairstyle and colour - you will love the windows, I have similar, no more worrying about painting ever again.
ReplyDeleteThank re hair. I'm loving the windows all ready. We have no drapes up as yet...
ReplyDeleteyou'll notice the difference with double glazing with the heat and the cold. my friends from england always talk about double glazing. i love your hair. my friend from cairns is a hairdresser and does house calls. very convenient. :)
