It's Cold!

Not only is it cold outside its cold INSIDE!

That's because the house that I live in is about 100 years old and it still has its original windows! So when its windy the house definetly FEELS it!

One of the problems lies with the window in one of the upstairs room - actually its the room where my computer is. It seems that the outer window has slipped some and while I can pull it back up it will slip down again! Another contributing factor is that there is a crack in the window. "Handyman" person that I am not I admit to you that I have duct tape on that crack!

Now I have been told that replacing the window pane is an easy enough job but since I have no experience with doing it before I'm going to have to find out how to replace the window pane!

All the windows need to be worked on but I like the thought that the windows are still the original ones and I'm going to have to figure out how to get them repaired but that they remain the original windows. However I do know that if they are beyond window repair I can always have the new windows look like the original windows.

I bet you a contractor would love to get at doing this work!

Replacing A Broken Window

As I got online I saw this link to a site with a guy showing how to replace a broken window. Here is the link:

Replacing A Broken Window

There's a video on the site as well.

I don't have a broken window but I do have an upstairs window that has a crack in it. From what I have been told I can just replace the pane but I haven't done it yet and I haven't decided if I'm going to do it or have someone else do it.

The windows that I are pretty old and I kind of like them the way they are plus I have this weird thing of "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
