That's exactly what we did with our almost 90 year old house. Windows needing to be replaced but we did order replacements that had the same look as "original". We don'y have a historic house but we wanted to keep the look.

That's a great deal on window cleaning. You should hang on to those guys. When I built my house 17 years ago, with getting older in mind, I tried too make it as easy as possible to maintain. The sashes tilt into the house so I can stand inside the room and clean them inside and out. Once tilted in you can twist them sideways and take them all the way out if needed. They cost a little more but it eliminated the need to get on a ladder to clean the outside. I also put brick and vinyl everywhere I could to eliminate painting outside on a ladder. Now that I'm old I'm glad I did.

I need to leave a trail of breadcrumbs for myself, or maybe just write a procedure and file it with the hardware. I kept thinking this should interface directly with the chip burning from TunerPro program, but that’s not quite correct. It is a simple process done through the burner/reader with the TunerPro as the source or receiver of the info to be loaded on the chip. In my defense, loading programming to an emulator connected to the ECM for running the engine from a laptop is done directly from TunerPro and I guess I had that stuck in my head. New chip is burned and all is well👍

When I bought the house twenty-nine years ago, I put tilt-in windows in the upper floor for easy cleaning. I left the bottom windows original. For the house exterior siding, I installed white cedar shingles on three sides and gray vinyl shiplap on the front. I also had all trim boards clad in white vinyl (soffits, windows, doors, etc.). House is totally maintenance free on the exterior. We were introduced to the "Window Wizards" cleaning guys when Diane worked for a health club. They cleaned the club's picture windows.
