Windows

Sunday Sept 12


As I'm writing this, I am serenaded by a cacophony of tolling church bells and the wail of a lone ambulance.  The windows are all open, letting in a wonderfully refreshing breeze (such a difference from Florida!)

Speaking of windows, here is what we see when we peer out:

 from the living room and dining room windows

  

from the other MBR window and the kitchen:

European windows are awesome. Watch while Greg, doing his best Vanna White impression, demonstrates:

Greg/Vanna points to the thermopane window and handle
Greg/Vanna shows that by turning the handle one way, the window opens inward.


Greg/Vanna demonstrates that by turning the handle the other way, the window pivots inward from the base so that the top is open.


Greg/Vanna shows that, by manipulating a simple turny thing, the storm shutters come down with little air holes for circulation. If you keep turning, the shutters close completely making the room as black as our left-behind cat Leon.


Start sending out resumes, Vanna White: you're about to be replaced!
