I should have waited until it got darker, but I was impatient. Still, you can see the lights hanging over the deck.
We just approved an estimate to have five new roll-down shutters installed. Merry Christmas to us! Two of the new shutters will be on windows in this photo. First, the kitchen window (middle left) shutter will be replaced. We had the current shutter put in almost twenty years ago. It's brown while all the shutters we've had replaced on the house since are white. The new shutter will be solar-powered like those we installed on the back (west side) of the house. The attic window in the dormer will also get a new shutter (as will the other attic window on the north side). They've never shutters, but since we had the attic finished, it makes sense. Two glass block windows on the south side, ground floor, (along the road) will also get shutters. That's a total of five new shutters for the house.
We also got an estimate for the deck door/window, too, but that's a big and costly job; we decided to skip it for now.
Such excitement! The house looks charming.
ReplyDeleteSolar powered sounds good.
ReplyDeleteLovely view on your house, guys!
ReplyDeleteThat’s a big Christmas present! You both must have been on Santa’s ‘nice’ list this year.
ReplyDeleteSo solar- powered shutters do not require physical energy or electricity to open and close? Interesting. I wish USA would get into shutters like the Europeans. It would make a lot of sense - especially where there are heavy winds all the time.
ReplyDeleteChristmas photos! And I almost missed them! I love the tree photo, and the exterior photo is great!
