Pick a window in the backyard (that no one sees). Take a picture of it and go into Lowes' millworks department (or Home Depot if there's not a Lowes nearby), they can talk you through it. For a retrofit window, you just need to measure the rough opening. Pella makes the Thermastar line that's pretty good. I got low e, dual pane windows with argon gas. They make a retrofit window, so all you do is take the old window apart, but you leave the outside metal frame in place (I'm assuming you have stucco walls). The new window fits inside the old frame. Installation instructions are here, along with how to measure for a new window.

Errr, I thought jobs like that were why we had kids.

The first domino is about to fall for us....

Our window guy (hey, I got a "guy") comes tomorrow to take the technical measurements. We signed a contract last week to replace 25 windows with nifty cool triple this and argon that windows. They should be installed in a few weeks.

After that we repaint, add new gutters and then tear off the back of the house for the new kitchen. Ahhh spring is in the air....

Stuff always sounds so easy until I look at my 1920's construction.

And, my entire house is pretty much vintage (which is why we bought it - no unfortunate remodels). I don't want to be the one to spoil it. Oh the pressure!

Okay, so I have a question...

I like this door. It costs $169... but how much will it cost me to get the damn thing installed? Anybody?
