New View

When we started working on our house we decided to keep the hideous window unit in its place for at least one summer to be sure we could survive without it. We survived. In fact, we managed to make it through what has been reported as the hottest summer ever in Phoenix without even giving that beast a second thought. Time to go.

With the help of an uncle and a neighbor, Jonathan managed to heave the beast out of its metal frame and remove the case from the window without any damage to the woodwork. A job well done.

 

Next Jonathan used his master glass installation skills to install new glass for the window. Taadaaaa, a new and much improved view! 

Next, painting over the red to match the front of the house.
