Quite a bit has happened since Thursday!  The upstairs windows are all taped off, and the transformation has begun. The caulking around the old windows has some asbestos/PCB content, so it needs to be properly removed and contained before the new windows can be installed. As you may know, asbestos is not a problem until it is disturbed, which is happening now with our new windows. Luckily, my office is far away from the process! I have certainly learned a lot about building repairs and maintenance issues over the past 7 years. This knowledge has helped me immensely at home when the water heater blew and when the frozen pipe burst! The insurance agent was surprised when I discussed my own mitigation plan!  Now I hope the weather cooperates so the installation can move ahead smoothly and be ready for the opening of school – fingers crossed!
