Windows

We got our new windows! Actually, our windows are being delivered Friday and will be installed next week. This is the craftsman finish I decided on for the sun room window that had been previously broken into. Did I tell you that story?

It appears that sometime in the past decade someone broke a side window on the sun porch and crawled through. I'm awfully sure it wasn't just one of the cats trying to escape. this place was kitten paradise. Besides, the French door to the main house from the sun room had a window broken just below the handle and lock suggesting someone tried to get in.

Here's a picture of the door. Carrie's fix was to cover the hole and jagged glass with painter's tape. We'll replace that cell when we get to remodeling the living room.

Tell me what is creepier - that someone in the past broke into what is now our house, or that Cat Lady never had the window and door fixed? Did she even know that someone had broken in?

And what do you think the intruder's reaction was when they got into the main house? I would have thought the smell of the sun porch would have driven them away before they crawled all the way through the window.

My thought is that they immediately realized their mistake and tried to escape. But, the cats. The cats wouldn't let them leave . . . They dragged the hapless intruder into the basement, where the remains rest among the beer cans.
