The chronicle of the trials, tribulations, and joys of attempting to update a 1930's-era home, affectionately termed "the rat hole" because of its state of disrepair, in Kenmore, Washington.

Windows have been Purchased!
After so much designing, drawing, shopping, and deciding, we finally ordered the windows and door for the living room! We ordered 2 gliding windows (a 6'W x 4'H and a 5'W x 4'H) and sliding door (5'W x 6'8"H) on Saturday evening. We would have ordered them a week ago, but get wanted a custom grid (also called a grille) for the simulated divided light look. The factory had to respond via fax and that took a week. In the end, the grid design that we wanted can't be made at the thickness we want (we want a 1 1/8" mullion, not a 3/4" mullion) so we are not getting grids (at least not internal grids and not right now). What we decided on was to just buy the windows with out grids and then we can continue to mock up grids after we install them. When we finally do decided on a grid design (which we kind of already have) we can order them for installation on the exterior and/or interior of the windows or even make them ourselves. In the end, we like the DIY solution the most (of course)!
