I got a kick out of watching the replacement windows contractor and his crew, work at our neighbor’s house last week. I knew that they would be coming, but I never thought that I would spend the entire day in my upstairs bathroom watching them. At first I was just trying to see what kind of vinyl windows that they had chosen but watching them tear out the old and put in the new was really fun to watch.

I went ahead and got out my video camera and my digital camera, to take a few pictures so that my neighbors could see all the work that was done to their house, later when they came home. The replacement windows contractor and the crew worked very quickly, and had half of the house done by noon. The new vinyl windows that they were putting in just enhanced the new siding that had been installed about two months earlier.

My neighbors had taken out a home equity loan and they were really making some changes. They now had the prettiest house on the block and it was so nice to live next to people who cared about what their house looked like.
