New Windows, Who Dis?

We realized the dining room windows were problematic while having the house painted. Norman, our painter, went to crank out the window to allow himself more room to work on the trim, and the crank fell off. These were floor to ceiling windows, meaning a floor to ceiling gap in our house. The sellers had crowed over the Pella windows, so I had Pella send an employee out to take measurements of the rotting windows so we could replace them. Eight months and two Better Business Bureau complaints later, they were not Pella windows, and I would not have replaced them with Pella even if they were given our customer service experience.

In the meantime, another window had fallen off the house when cranked open, so we called Andersen. They’re on track to replace an entire floors’ worth of windows in a single day, with the exception of the bay window we’ll have installed in April once they’ve completed its copper roof. I’ve been laying fairly low this winter, but seizing the momentum of this project (albeit an unwanted one) to regain momentum on updating this home and business to be all they can be. For the kitchen, that means treating the gorgeous but well-worn butcher block counter tops. For Last Stop, figuring out when we can host some shopping events to bring our products to the people.
