So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Sash Window Repair Specialists Preserve A Piece Of History

By Zara Colwell

Sash window repair specialists are really a unique breed of window artists. Being able to repair the structure of a sash window is very much like restoring historical art. Sash windows are unique because of their stacked design, making the window appear to be made out of separate smaller pieces of glass.

These windows, which were common in period homes like Victorian and Georgian homes, are rooted deep in history. This is especially true in the southern parts of the country. These windows are signatures, often designed by the original home builders.

What historical significance? These are windows that are common in old homes, and were once the mainstay of home design, are dwindling in numbers. Their unique stacked pane appearance and the six over six panel design is no longer in production. This paned glass can be found in each one of the individual rectangles can often measure more than twice as thick as the glass we use in windows today.

Sash window repair specialists are akin to historical artists that can take a broken or struggling 100 year old window and coax it back to health and return it to working condition. For a fraction of the cost of replacing the window, you can maintain that charming characteristic of your home.

Pane replacement is not terribly time consuming, provided that the right type of glass is on hand. If you have several panes to be replaced, you will probably end up with glass panes that reflect various light levels, making the view through each pane a little different.

Whatever the repair ends up to be, the important thing is that you and the sash window repairs specialists were willing to preserve a historical window and keep your home's character intact. This is a significant part of preserving our history throughout the world. The simple things that represent a time in our history shouldn't be easily discarded.
