As my parents are getting older, I have found that they need more and more help around the house.  I know that my dad doesn’t like to ask for it, but I can see it in their eyes that they appreciate what I do for them.

So this year, we have decided to fix up their house before winter, so that it isn’t as drafty as it was last year.  In fact, their heating bill was so high that we really don’t have any excuse not to do the work.

I have hired a company that specializes in sash windows to come in and replace all the windows in the house.  They are a little drafty, and with new windows, we won’t have to worry about the cold winter wind getting into their house.

When the windows are done, we will still have a lot of work ahead of us including painting, cleaning and replacing their carpets.  It looks like it is going to be a long summer.
