The quote came back higher than I expected, but we started talking about it and were coming around to the idea of biting the bullet and stretching the budget a bit to get it done once and for all.
Then I realized there was a second page to the PDF and page one was just the windows.
Currently talking myself into painting the house and watching DIY window replacement tutorials.
the price of windows is ridiculous. the worst part is that the windows don't increase the overall value of the home.
They do help insulation and heating/cooling costs.
Anyway, Covid supply chain issues have impacted windows big time.
I'm sure that's part of it. We're waiting on a quote from a second guy. He said windows are typically ready in a week to 10 days, but now it's more like 8-10 weeks.
Replacing a basic double-hung window yourself can't be that hard, can it??
My brother and sister-in-law sell new construction homes. They had to stop taking lot reservations and only sell stuff that the builder is now building before sale. Lumber keeps going up in price every month so they can't afford to sell a house for a price now that won't be built until August.
You just reminded me we should probably get a storm door.

It's warming up here, so I have a few projects looming. I'm going to be installing new gutters and while they're down I'm going to replace a few of the soffit boards.
I also need to replace my shed, which shouldn't be too bad. The hardest part of that will probably be getting rid of the old shed.

if you were to paint your house would you hire someone?
First question, would your racist HOA let you paint your house?

No, it's pretty expensive and a lot of painters aren't very good.

We have company shirts and we don't shop at Sherwin. We're a home depot family.

i got rid of an old shed last year - pretty big wood one, with shingled roof, etc
we were supposed to cannibalize it's wood to build a new one but due to a snafu during deconstruction had to just demo the whole thing
if i could do it all over again i would have just rented a dumpster
we wound up cutting it into pieces and i ferried it to the local dump in about 5-7 trips, and had to pay the guy at the dump bc technically was construction waste he's not supposed to take
fun times
was kind of exciting though
life in the fast lane

but then when the old shed fell on the pool fence i had to get involved
and then never got uninvolved
and by the end
it was a magic journey, together
