How to NOT winter-proof your old windows

December 8th, 2011

by vanessa

Lately we have been spoiled by the unseasonably warm weather here in Atlanta. Yesterday I was shopping for green sprinkles and chocolate eggnog in my Flip-Flops and Daisy Dukes, and I paused to asked myself, is it really December, but more importantly, am I too old to be wearing Daisy Dukes?

Nevertheless, today a cold front has moved in *tisk* tisk* and so it is finally time, time to break out the ghetto-fabulous-double-pain-plastic-shrink-wrap for my single pane, pain-in-the-a**-windows.

In the spirit of the Holidays I thought it would be fun to take you through the tedious tradition of winter-proofing my delightful, and slightly breezy, Mid-Century Modern Home (did I mention I have original, single-PAIN-aluminum-windows?)

Step #1 Locate the Biggest wall of windows where the drafty exterior breeze is coming from.

Step #2 Layout all the tools you will need to shrink wrap your drafty window project: Gin, Ginger Ale, Ice, scissors and some other stuff.

Step #3 Pour equal parts of the Gin and Ginger Ale into the chilled glass that contains ice. Test to make sure they are of the highest quality.

Step #4 Double check the materials, sometimes the consistency might be weak and more Gin should be added liberally.

Step #5 Carefully adhere the double sided tape gently yet firmly around the window trim thing-a-ma-jiggy, takeing pre-kaution for excessive pressing, this can cause panefull wood-chips in your fingers also known as splinters (the little bast**ds)

Step #6 Make sher your sweet and tangee Bev-erig is within reaching distance… sometimes the drafty windows let in large Rodents or humans who steel tasty Bevrriges, so you must be cognesent of whare your icy cold Drink is at ALLL tims.

Step #7 Take the plastik outuv the box thingy. WARNING: DO NOT PUD PLASTICK OVFER UR HEAD, THISE CAN CAUSE SUFFICATIONS.

STEP# 9 or 8 iforgot. Play WIDTH the plasitc pretendd like your are Jezus’s mother the Merry virgin.

Step #11 Wharedid my FRIGIN’ dnrink GO? I jusputiddown for a sekund and somwone drank it all…waathe …!?

Step #21 Skrew dis, i hat dubbble sided stiiky tape… will deel wtith Drefty windows toomarrow. Go takeAing a nap.

Psssstt…. here’s some Juicy Gossip!

We don’t want to brag, but here at domoREALTY we are kind of a big deal. It still surprises us when we introduce ourselves only to be asked “Do-Mo who?” or “what is DO-MO?” or “Where did you come up with that name?” shortly followed by “…Oh, is that from that robot song?”

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but domoREALTY did not highjack our name from the famous 80′s Styx song: Domo Arigato Mr. Robato.

For those of you who did not sign up for your High School Latin class: Domus is the Latin word for home. We dropped the “us” added an “o” to make it sound more modern and va-la: domoREALTY was born!

Now that you are in the know about Domo, let’s continue to talk about how cool we are… So with all the negative news about the housing market these days we thought it would be fun to share some GOOD NEWS about the Atlanta MODERN Real Estate Market!

Recently domoREALTY has been getting a little recognition in the Atlanta press, so why not share these upbeat articles about the Modern Real Estate market in Metro Atlanta?! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Smoking kills and makes you smell bad, but it’s ok to hold a cigarette every now and then just to look cool in pictures. Just don’t inhale.

ATOMIC RANCH on a FULL Basement!?!

This dynamic Mid-Century Modern Ranch is a sleeper. From the outside it looks quant and unassuming but the second you enter the open foyer you know this MCM Home has got all the right stuff. With it’s original pine tongue and groove ceilings and the new red oak wood floors make the color pallet rich, warm and extremely inviting! The kitchen has had a top-notch renovation. and features a 48″ professional gas range! (In my humble opinion) this home has one of the best floor-plans in Northcrest.
