The controversy never ends.

So we signed a contract last night for new windows. Vinyl windows, which has already caused something of a stir in some circles (architects HATE vinyl windows).

Personally, I just want to be warm. The current windows on the house (single pane aluminum that were the vinyl window of their day) are drafty as hell. Plus, we can hear everything that goes on with the neighbors, and surely vice-versa.

It's just the latest in some necessary upgrades to the Home Place that will include a new furnace, deck, water heater, plumbing, and a full bathroom in the basement. All with an eye on resale of course. Non-architects evidentially don't care if windows are vinyl. I know I don't.

But still, SOMETHING has to be done about that kitchen floor. I hate that kitchen floor. I may just go out and buy some cheap vinyl for that as well, just so I don't have to look at that damn floor anymore. God, is it ugly.
