Our Saturday of dragonboat racing, dumpling eating and bloody mary drinking may work out, and it may not. I mean, they're talking about 40mph sustained winds now. Who knows. Maybe Danny'll slow down enough that we'll get all the races in?
We'll let you guys know how it turns out on Monday.
In other news, Sue's shoulder continues to slowly heal, but it's still hurting. And I made an appointment to get an estimate at the window shop down the street. They're coming by on Monday.
We've got a cracked window pane in the half bathroom, and a cracked pane in the basement as well. On top of that, most of our windows on the ground floor have insulation that's failed or that's in the process of failing. It's sort of hard to tell from this picture, but see how the insulation is twisted?
Modern windows have two (or more) panes. In between the panes, they hold inert gas, which serves as insulation. Then there's also a strip of insulation, which helps the windows insulate. Our insulation strips are compromised. The basement windows are the worst. Check out the warping.
Maybe we'll just get the cracked panes fixed, but who knows. There's a tax credit for improving your home's energy efficiency, so maybe we'll see if we can take advantage of that. Windows can get pretty expensive. Installed, the cheapest ones are $199 at this store.
Ah well, have splendid weekends, friends. We've got the electrician coming, the windows estimate, plus more on the ceilings and basement next week. We may actually have a decent plan for how we're going to do the walls down there, but it's going to take some work.
