Homeland Project

[Bduck]

This winter we are really feeling the cold penetrating into our house, it doesn't help with us aging too. We bump up our heat from 70° to 72° or 73°. We also know we have a problem with our current windows as we feel the cold penetrating the dual pane. These windows are contractors windows but have out served their usefulness with argon in between not holding up any longer and have become a challenge to open/close for my wife. After making a selection for new windows to be installed(it ain't cheap), this project also involved installing a wall mount doggie door to replace the current insert at the patio sliding door. Next is I broke out the compound miter saw and table saw to build a new step at the door. Since doggie door is installed I had to extend step over to accommodate entrance & exit for my little 
buddy. All that's left is installing step. This pic shows new & old doggie door, new & old patio steps. New windows and patio door will be installed in March.
