$20

The (mostly) finished product.  Best $20 we’ve ever spent!

My parents visited over the weekend and though they’re here on vacation, it’s always a working vacation. This time we removed the old, cloudy, cracked windows and put in a beautiful sliding glass door and windows on either side. The best part (other than it’s a crystal clear view outside and the set up is GORGEOUS) is that it cost us about a total of $20 to purchase and install everything (I’d say even more awesome than our $25 window in our Iowa home). The sliding glass door was removed from my sister’s house and we nabbed the windows from a house salvage. The only real cost was spray foam to seal cracks, some screws, a piece of drywall and some plywood, some of which we already had on hand from other projects.

Here are the windows before we got started–the windows had a great view but they were old, cracked, cloudy and not sealed well. That problem’s been taken care of!
