MyBlueLobsters Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 We've lived in our house for almost 9 years now and it had the original windows. (older house) Couldn't open any of them. They were either painted shut or too rotten to slide open. We got new windows put in late last fall. The last few days have been nice and warm (60's) and I've been able to open the windows!! MAN! I have been missing out! Nothing like the fresh air blowing through the house to lighten all our moods! I know it's a silly thing, but I am just so excited about it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBlueLobsters Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 OH! To top that off...I can clean the inside and outside of them from IN my house! They fold in :D BONUS! And we've been saving about $100 a month in electricity. Double bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 My kids and I lived in a basement for almost 6 years. We now live above ground with windows, and I know how you feel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedmom4 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I love love love keeping my windows open when the weather is nice. I also keep my French door leading to the deck open. The kids love running in and out on days like today. God Bless, Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a silly thing, but I am just so excited about it! :D Fresh spring breezes in a house that's been closed up all winter are not a silly thing at all! They are refreshing and spirit-lightening and wonderful. I keep trying to open our windows here, but it's still a bit chilly for it and it's bumming me out :lol: Enjoy your fresh air!

Starr Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 We got new windows last year too. I love that they all open and none of them need a stick to hold them up. lol Enjoy the fresh air. I long for 60 degrees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RecumbentHeart Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I am working on convincing DH that replacing our windows needs to be on our home improvement "to do" list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I would feel exactly the same way. :001_smile: I have friends who are paranoid about their neighborhoods and never, ever open windows (or doors, if they can help it). I feel as if I'm in a tomb when I visit them, and if I am sleeping there, it's extra bad. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Nothing beats fresh air and nice breeze coming in. Thanks for sharing your dollar savings too. Our windows aren't that old, but I'd love more efficient ones that I didn't have to lift to open or go outside to clean the weather battling side. OH!

Slartibartfast Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 We love having the windows open. We would never buy a house where we couldn't open the windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnsinkableKristen Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Isn't it just lovely?? I thank my lucky stars every Spring and Fall that I live in Texas and the "open window" season is so long :) We have friends, too, that never open their windows and by the end of my visits there all I can think of is how much I just want a breath of fresh air. And there is nothing like waking up to the birds singing right beside your bedroom window. Sigh. :001_smile: So happy for your new windows!

Kerrie in VA Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 And nothing like the smell of freshly mowed grass. I also love to be in rooms with a good cross-breeze. Invigorating! I also enjoy the coolness of the pillowcases and crisp sheets when the night air becomes cooler. Enjoy experiencing the fresh air! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I'm jealous! :tongue_smilie: We desperately need new windows! Enjoy the fresh air blowing in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*~Tina~* Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh, I love fresh air and open windows. I'm totally jealous :D We have older windows too, and most of them have screens, but they don't keep spiders and creepy crawlies out well enough for me, so they aren't opened as much as I'd like. I'll just close my eyes of dream of new ones now :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
