We can see clearly now

The window in our master bedroom has been looking dirty for a while. We decided to do some spring cleaning a few weeks ago and wanted to get this window cleaned. We had put it off so long because the only way to get to the outside of this window is from our backyard - two stories up.


Well it turns out the "dirty" part is actually INSIDE the two panes of glass. HUH? Yeah - the window wasn't sealed properly when it was originally manufactured. So we contacted our original builder to find out who they bought the windows from thinking they must be under some type of warranty. We were RIGHT! The windows were under the original manufacturers warranty...but they went out of business. That is right folks - Linford windows is out of business. So we had to suck it up and pay a different company $250 to replace the outside pane of glass - that was even with a 30% discount (so they say). Why replace it you ask? Well - if we ever sold this house who would buy it with mold growing in between window panes?

So today we finally have a new view from our master bedroom:

Who knew $250 would look so beautiful?!

I've been trying to contact Linford Windows today. I can't find them anywhere. (2 of our windows are broken). I googled Linford windows and your blog post showed up. How did you find out they went out of business? Their website is still up and running. Could you point me to where you went to find out? My email is nafari01@yahoo.com

Thanks, I appreciate it.
