So I disappeared again

Sorry...but as you know, financially we are in no place to make fun updates to the house, and when you create a blog that is specifically to showcase home upgrades, well it's depressing to update that blog without any real updates. I will say though that the big decision we made for the house is one that has been awesome for us.

We got new windows! They are these super strength, even superman couldn't break them windows, and really have been awesome. We can open our windows on cool evenings. The glass is low-E so it helps keep the house cooler on hot afternoons. The whole thing is pretty cool. We ended up getting a really great deal on them that we couldn't pass up so the whole house, minus the garage, has new windows (including the scary bathroom), and we got a new back door thrown in for free basically. It is lovely, and really awesome to be able to not have to go through the garage to get to our back yard. Of course now, because we hadn't done anything to stop the deterioration of the back deck, it's pretty unstable. Ah well, we wanted to replace the wood with composite decking anyways. Composite decking lasts much longer in our hot, humid, rainy Florida summers. The deal, thankfully, gave us 18 months no interest financing so we are free from freaking out about paying for these for a little while. I have no idea what we are going to do when the bill comes due, but we have over a year still to figure it out and I just pray that the answer will come to us before that time comes.

If our financial situation ever improves, I will try to start blogging again about the house and progress we make. Until then, a shot of the new windows...
