Windows 2.0

I.stayed home from work today while windows were installed in our house. Our windows were the original 1968 windows and not one worked. We started the window purchasing process in January and we paid for them five weeks ago. Replacement windows are pretty much only custom built.

Here is a fun little game. What is wrong with the picture to the right? ...answer at end of post... Out of 15 windows 9 are not what I ordered. Mostly, what was left off was either "low-E" or "argon" both make the windows better in the Texas sun. The installers also broke one. So, I spent a fair part of my day yelling at my window company.

So, you ask "What's that got to do with the price of tea in China". Isn't this a blog about adoption? Well, we started almost 18 months ago thinking we needed to save a lot of money for the adoption within 12 months, enough to buy a nice mini-van. We arrived in 2006 with our financial goal met, but no child. China was not on the same schedule. We have learned to save at a fair clip and now we can use some of the money we are saving in 2006 for things around the house that really need to get done. Of course we would prefer to be back from China and obsessing over our precious bundle of joy, not some stupid windows. In a few months, windows won't be nearly as important as they seemed today.
Answer: The little squares on the top part of the window are not the same as the ones on the bottom. It looks dumb.
