Feb will see the start of work on the main bedroom, new ensuite, turning the existing ensuite into a laundry and a few other things.... AND we ended up being able to afford Double Glazing!!! Our builder ended up making up the window frames were needed (we reused frames where we could). And had his glazier make up double glazed panes - the cost for the frames (including 1 sash that was needed) was about $800 and the cost for the double glazed panes (8 in total) was about $900.
