Expensive.

They started today with replacing the windows. The windows showed up on Tuesday, and then they showed up today to install. Since the company is coming from far away, they asked if they could stay a long time this evening to finish everything, instead of having to come back tomorrow to finish up what might only take a couple of hours.

So, here is what it looks like now:





Yes, the windows are the same, with the sectioning at the top. There wasn't much to chose from in this size of window, and we thought it looked nice, so we kept it the same.. :P

They have replaced two of the windows so far (now they are on lunch break). Only one of the windows will open. The price difference between the windows that open and don't open is at least 1000:- each (170$). It wasn't really that important to have them open, but we chose to have one that opens, to get a little bit of air going through the house during the summer months.

So, the whole project, including windows and labor is: 28.000:- (4700$). To replace four small windows... :/
It is so expensive because the curve on the wall.. :/ The other window company that came and looked at it said they wouldn't even touch the project because they knew it would be difficult. And one of the workers today marked how difficult it is.

The windows being replaced are the original windows from when the house was built in 1920! We hope to eventually do all the windows.. if we win the lottery.. :D

More pictures later after more is accomplished!
