Whatchya Doin' For Memorial Day Weekend?

Ghoulish Delight · 05-29-2007, 09:32 AM

On Saturday, I finally managed to get a screen installed in our front window. I'm going to need to replace it at some point because I cut the frame just a bit too short and there are some gaps, but it's good enough for now and is allowing us to finally get some cross breeze into our place.

For the past 9 years we've lived in places with absolutely no natural air flow. Both of our apartments had all of their windows on one side. And with no screen on the front window and having to keep bedroom doors upstairs closed due to the bunny, the condo was beginning to get pretty stuffy. Now that we can open the window, it's like a whole new place.

Finished two petitions that have to be filed today, and the better part of a third. Got a bunch of extensions filed.

Ready for the weekend!

Oh dear god, not again.

Surprisingly, our condo, with both sliding glass doors onto the same patio can get a mild pass-through of air just using these two doors.

I'm looking forward to some windows that we can actually open rather than the current ones we have now which the previous owner painted and nailed shut.

I don't get why people do that.

Our apartment has a decent window layout. Windows on each side wall to allow for a cross breeze. My bedroom on the other hand gets stuffy quickly. I keep the window open but have to keep the door shut to keep the KITTY! out.

Painted shut usually just means that whoever did the painting was sloppy and careless. Nailed shut? Gotta be issues there.

Replacement windows come with new screens

After you order them, and get the HOA approval...
