As I walk I check for mail that might have been delivered the previous day. As I headed out all I saw was some junk mail. On the way back I pulled it out to file it. Walking up the steps I read the first line of the computer simulated hand-written note. They wanted to sell me new windows and doors. I guess they didn’t notice we had already done that a few year ago.
The line that got me was, “Now’s the perfect time! We have a special new customer sale going on. PLUS, for a limited time...”
It must be me but I would hope that they would have a “new customer” sale going on. I would hope that their work was good enough that they would not be trying to sell new windows to old customers. My parents lived in the same house for over 30 years and I don’t remember them replacing any windows. I must admit that if my wife had lived there she would have had a need for new ones but that is a mark of affluence, not need.
Be a good steward of your resources. May your windows never stick and your doors never sag.
