Windows

@aftermidnight wow that is a nice stained glass side window. Your friend has some real talent.

This is so true. About 30 years ago we had all of our windows replaced at a cost of around $12,000. I was shocked when they told me the number of windows we have. It was all quality and custom work. We sure are glad we made that investment in this 100+year old victorian.

It helps to think of it as an investment when you see these large figures for projects. They do add value to your home. When we had our $15,000 stain glass window created and installed our realor said it increased the value of our home by $50,000.

Mary mentioned stained glass sooo... not hijacking too much. A young friend of mine is into mosaics and stained glass. She made this panel for their front door.

I got talking to her at a garden club meeting, found out she was a local girl so asked her who her family was. There was a dead silence for a minute or two. Her mom was my best friend when we were very young in fact it was her mom who took me to school that first day grade one she was one year older.

Thanks. You probably know more about older homes than I do! Do Not Look at my house. Windows replaced with new modern ones before we bought. Living with that. Can't afford to replace just for aesthetics. ;(
