It Was a Big Deal $$$

  I have been absolutely bursting to blog about the great deal we got on our windows. We are prepping the kitchen to tear out and replace the cabinets the week after Christmas. We've been buying everything we need in advance and trying to stick to a budget. Thankfully and strangely we have come in under budget on several items. It was time to buy the windows and we knew that one would need to be special ordered.

  Now let's get to the deal. While the salesman was pulling up the price for the window, we wondered around looking at windows in stock. We found special ordered windows that had been returned. The sizes were a bit different than we were looking for, but since we are tearing out walls it didn't really matter. Retail for these Pella 350 series triple pane, double hung windows $325.00 each...clearance sticker $100.00... at the register $75.00. Oh yeah, $1,000 worth of windows for $225. These are Pella's most energy efficient windows. I could go on and on about the savings, but at the risk of turning this blog into a major math problem I will just stop. I do want to thank the customer that special ordered and returned these windows. Merry Christmas to the Lipperts!

It is a good feeling to know that the insulation we blew in filled the walls so well.

Our neighbor asked if Tony was going to get to rest after this project. Uh, no, but I might make him a sandwich.
