Double Glazing day

Today we have the first people coming to give us a quote for double glazing the house. We have a lot of windows here and in the "garden room" and dining room we have double glazed doors. There will be a big heat loss in the winter time when we have the central heating on. As this is our principal residence and we have just bought it we are entitled to a 40% grant towards the cost of the double glazing as long as the work is done by the 31st Dec. 2008. Not to be sneezed at! Two very smart (typical D.G. salesmen) arrived at 10am as arranged. We did a tour of the house and they measured the windows before sitting down to do the nitty gritty. One of them showed us samples of the windows whilst the other one did the sums. We were pleasantly surprised with the quote, not as much as we had thought. Of course they wanted an answer there and then but we said we had to have other quotes and that we want their quote in writing. So they are back next Tuesday. Have done some research on the web and trying to find 2 other firms to quote. One is coming next Monday the others have not yet rung back. Watch this space!
A very mild day again but quite dull so good for being out in the garden and pulling out yet more brambles. Nigel carrying on with building the wardrobe.
