Big day for me Thursday, my birthday present to ME

11 years ago

Getting new door windows installed, two, with blinds inbetween the glass. AND a picture window for my living room.

It's my pleasure.

Not usually a spluger, but I feel I am worth it and deserve it.

Thank you all! My birthday was last month. I'm at the point where things like thing are a fun way to remember a birthday, but I'd be just as happy if they just....stopped....coming..... :) It is made of "kitchen grade" stainless steel, and I'm not quite sure what that means. He does metalwork as a hobby. I cannot wait to put it up, but we need to mess with things a little to be able to hang it right. It is HEAVY.

Love your backsplash. Did I miss what material it is? Did you say what stone/tile it is? You kitchen looks very similar to my kitchen before last - same color cab, black granite. Backsplash we used 4 diff limestones that the tile guy cut into 3x6 bricks. Still looking for a picture! I loved the look. Current kitchen just didn't allow for so much darker colors :(

The Rain Lilies sound neat! They sound like determined little guys. Its cool that you were able to recognize and preserve a part of your house's history. I have found all kinds of weird things here. There are hurricane lilies both white and red that pop up all over the front yard. I tried moving a few of the red ones into the flower bed then the chickens discovered they were yummy to eat so I am not sure if they will come back up lol. I think I will leave the others out there. The other day I saw some other type of tall strappy leaves that look like some kind of lily but not a crinum (at least doesn't look like the others I found). I will have to wait and see what it blooms into. ~sjn

A plum assignment, for sure. He'll be ready to show you around Pearl Harbor, Punchbowl, Iolani Palace and the Bishop Museum by the time you visit. (And probably a lot of other *fun* places around the island. I can see you now, doing your water exercises at Waikiki and Turtle Bay!

Sounds like a great birthday gift to me.

I would love to have blinds between the glass.

Please update and let us know how you like them. What brand are you getting?

Happy year Glenda!

I'd just love to have blinds between the panes. Actually, you may be doing yourself a big favor--I don't know how old your condo is, but they've vastly improved window quality so you may see some big savings on your electric bill, along with enjoying them.

Now, if they could just come up with a self-cleaning window....

We just had our entire house done with new windows, French and sliding doors. The old windows and doors were 30 years old. With the double pane, the house is now like an oven all the time. We have to leave nearly every window and door open just to cool off. But they sure look nice. :-)

Darn...I was looking forward to some pictures of the new windows and I'm sure you were looking forward to taking them!
As for the Freedom, if you can believe this...it's a FREE cruise. My husband doesn't agree (LOL) because he earned it for being numero uno salesperson at work. We were able to book a wrap around balcony on deck 7. Don't know the name of the deck. I've always wanted to try a wrap around and I'm so excited about it! It's an 8 day cruise so I'll be able to spend lots of time on that balcony and trust me...I will!
Still can't wait to see pics of your new windows. I'm sure they will be so awesome, Glenda!
