So for two, it cost $577. Half was paid three weeks ago at the time of the order, and the other half was paid today. We paid by check, not credit card — go us! Of course, I briefly thought, “Hey, we can put in the windows ourselves and save $170 bucks, no?” But then I came to my senses!
The good thing is that we’ll get an energy credit of 30% of the $403 window cost ($403), so the cost was even cheaper in the end. I had priced out a few other places, but they wanted $400 per window, including installation, rather than $285. It was a no-brainer, especially with the recommendation from my co-worker.
The holidays totally messed with our progress in the room, though. I put up some insulation, finally, but need someone who’s not scared to go higher than the second rung of the ladder to run the insulation up to the roof peak. I’m all good with the lower part, since we still have original pitch of the roof on the one side of the room (we have a Cape Cod with an almost-full rear shed dormer).
It’s really nice to see everything coming along. We do need to put up a few nailers (pieces of wood) so the sheetrock can be hung correctly, and one more ceiling beam has to be put up. But those are jobs for the menfolk! And we’ll actually need to GET the sheetrock to the house. That will be a pain in the ass.
