Elizabeth Kirk's Window Blog: Thoughts, Advice and More

Hello and welcome. My name is Elizabeth, and this is my windows blog. I plan to fill this blog with posts related to windows, their efficiency and more. I may also invite a few of my friends who are knowledgeable about the topic to write about windows as well. My husband and I have lived in our home since we got married, but it has been in his family for generations. We just replaced the windows for the first time in eighty years, and it was a definite experience. Now, our house is more efficient than ever before, we have boosted our home security, and we have kept the look of the new windows consist with the traditional style of our home. I hope to write about all of that. Thank you for reading!
