The two pups from much different worlds have found a common interest in watching their world from our nine foot wide floor to ceiling picture window with those controversial vertical blinds that many think are less than chic! Well folks, since we have been big proponents of furry friends these blinds and window have been worth their weight in gold, neither showing worse for wear, and hours of free entertainment, by most like these two watch without barking!
Especially the cats, ha!
A few years before Hurricane Charley 2004 we had replaced the jalousie windows in our 1958 Mackle Brothers home, a standard issue all over our home and all others built then and they were replaced with the Miami Dade Hurricane standard 130 MPH winds protection pane ones then, all due to Hurricane Andrew 1992 standards.
And so that front window fared well, and it did not have a roof go through it like the one in the guestroom did. People had suggested making it smaller with a sill half way up that one in the living room that is, but no we kept all the windows and their openings the same size and they were all rather substantial. The fairly inexpensive verticals, would have been $300 dollars way back when, but instead I bought two smaller sections and butted them together making their cost $80 then, but I did buy another section to use as replacements, still financially cost effective. Some of the holes rip on the top and not these little ones but some others had made teeth marks in them. So we just replace them, embarrassingly I have used packing tape to repair the holes that ripped under the valance causing them to fall off, and it does work fine! I use a nut stick thingy to make the new hole in the tape. Oh I did kind of like the jalousie windows but they were highly inefficient. We had had a jalousie porch off our dinning room in Paramus NJ where I grew up, also where we would watch the fireworks on the Fourth of July in the distance! Lovely memory!
FURRY Kids
Happy good night all!
Count those blessings and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
