Sears is doing new siding and windows at my home. the windows are on order and are custom made to fit my house, as when I designed it and the standards were not exactly normal.

The siders are in their second day. thought I would share some during pictures:

yup - mercury-poured clear glass (as opposed to typical sand-poured), double pane with 99% argon fill. the framing is glacier white for them. so the sage green with white trim all around.

I actually prefer the bright teal and mauve combination. the neighborhood covenants grandfathered me in (I had the second house on the plat). so if I have to change the color, I have to go to an "earthtone"; and this greenish color was the best choice i could make. My wife likes it too.

the house is nearly 20 years old from when I designed and had it built. it just doesn't seem that long ago. and so when I had it painted last, I used the same colors, just used semi-gloss instead of a flat base.

it is turning out better than I thought. the "bland" color isn't so bad with the high-contrasting white trimming. The challenge is that there is still going to be some of the teal/mauve in places through the winter that will need painted, but won't be able to happen till next spring.

so it will be multicolored for a few months.

heheheheee

We got new windows in April, I have all ready seen a savings of about 100-125 a mt during them summer. I hope I will see the same savings when the winter bills start rolling in.

Actually, yes, I believe it does. I think that there are other factors involved but I don't believe whether they are unionized or not is a determining factor.
