The neighbors warned us that it might start getting a little busy over at their house, because they were having some home improvements done. I asked them what all they were doing and they gave me a list of about ten different things. Maybe I should have asked them what they were not doing to the house; it might have been a shorter list.

The very next day, I noticed a crew pull up with all new wood slider windows that I knew were going in the back section of the house. Our homes backed up to some woods and the neighbors thought that if they put in new wood slider windows, they could get a better view of the woods during the day. I am not sure how, but it was not my decision to make.

Two days after the new wood slider windows went it, another crew pulled up with the new double hung windows that were going into every spot the sliders did not. This way, the neighbors explained their maid would be able to clean them much better than before since the new double hung windows tilted in for easier cleaning.

I was happy for that, because their maid was about seventy years old and every year they sent her up on a ladder to clean the windows. The work continued for about a month, and then it just stopped one day when it had all been completed.
