More windows

I have put over half the windows in now. They still need flashing
details. I picked up some self adheasive flashing tonight. Using
recycled windows saves heaps of money. It is more work though. I had
to scrape old caulking off
one of them which took some time. Some need repairs. I rebuilt the
frames for four of them. I have ended up with three different types of
windows for mounting which makes me change gears a bit. On the bright
side, I now have experience with each kind! All new windows with nail
flanges would be super easy, probably a one day job. If I wanted easy,
I guess I would have paid somebody to build the whole house for me :)
Overall, I say recycled is worth the extra effort. Again, I have a
little over 300.00 in all my windows. I saved thousands of dollars,
and when all said and done, will have fine working windows.
