Once you get through all of the details and order your replacement windows in Huntington Beach, CA, it’s a real relief. Now, you just have to wait for the windows to come in and you can have them installed. Then, you get the results and benefits you’ve been dreaming of. While it’s not absolutely mandatory for you to be home when your windows are going in, it is nice to have you present, just in case. If you plan to be home, it can be nice to catch up on some things around the house. But there are also things you will want to avoid doing during the process. Here are a few things to avoid:

Baking And Cooking

It can be fun to spend the day in the kitchen on a day off from work, but this is not a good day for that kind of adventure. There will be dust floating around the house and you certainly don’t want to end up eating that debris later in the cupcakes you’re baking. Make yourself a sandwich and other lunch items you can package up and leave the kitchen alone for the day. There are other things you can do in your home. Save the baking for the weekend.

Important Conference Calls

You may not be able to completely step away from work, but you certainly won’t want to set up an important conference call for the middle of the installation process. There might be noise going on around you and the others might have trouble hearing you and vice versa. Try to keep your work to email conversations for the day. If you need to speak on the phone, leave the house and walk down the block a bit to get a bit quieter.

Spring Cleaning

The idea behind spring cleaning is to go deeper than you normally would with the cleaning process. But this is not the time to get into all the nooks and crannies. When you have new windows installed, there’s going to be lots of dust flying around. If you clean lots of things, you will just have to re-clean them once the windows are in and you want to get rid of the dust from the project. A better form of spring cleaning would be to de-clutter your home and perhaps get rid of some things, so you don’t have as much around to clean.

When you are looking ahead to the installation portion of replacement windows in Huntington Beach, CA, there are plenty of things you can likely do around your house as you watch the installation happen and stay around in case there are questions about the process. But there are also a few things you might want to avoid doing, like some of the above.
