Windows!

I posted on facebook a week ago that we were getting new windows (in the same post I may have also mentioned that our upstairs neighbors [who we aren't too fond of] are moving out)!

The windows are fabulous. For those of you who have been in our house, the big one in the living room didn't get replaced but the other three windows did. The windows that were taken out were the original windows from when the house was built in 1905. So, they were only 105 years old. No big deal.

They let in so much cold air and so much noise.

Now we have a much quieter, warmer apartment!

 The string from the old pulley system. 

 And the wheel where the string used to be attached. 

(don't mind all the nasty cobwebs...ew!)

 And now they look like this! hooray!

Much more...modern. Or maybe just not so ancient.
