The price of one tiny window!!

Tweet

We used to have the a/c unit installed in an exterior wall. Its great except when it breaks down, and it sure tends to, like nearly every 2 yrs, so I got fed up, decided to get the a/c unit out of there and buy a small window to install in the existing hole in the wall. The hole is about 19" by 22" maybe, (the size of a a/c unit)so I thought a tiny stained glass window would be nice. Oh it would be very nice but it would cost me well over $1,000. to buy one. So I started looking for a normal window, had someone come over to give me a price for the window and installation. The window would cost me $460. and about $200 to install. Then the guy said, if it were my house, I wouldnt install a window, Id close the hole.....period!! So thats what we're doing. Have you notice how expensive home renovations have become?
