OK. So under the "do the major dust-creating projects once and for all" category, next up: New windows throughout the house.
Because while the original 1939 ones had character, they weren't very efficient. The locking mechanics were a little outdated.

And had been painted so many times, sometimes they no longer worked as designed.

And sometimes you could actually see daylight between them.

And sometimes they weren't very pretty. [
That's not an errant yeti in the background, just my husband, heading out to the garage.]

And they certainly weren't insulated. So we decided to go ahead and do it, we'd replace the old windows with new! Bear with me, I took a few pix. :)
