April Home News

Normalcy is important right now. Routines can be the saving grace of your household as there are many uncertainties and changes to your daily pace. Did you know that 90 per cent of the world is impacted in some way by COVID-19? We’re so quick to assume that means that 90 per cent are directly infected by the virus, but the emotional ripple of side effects can be equally impactful on again – what we consider “normal.” That word has mostly gone out the window, but the Valley Windows team is here to promise to keep whatever semblances of it that we can. And that gives us lots to look forward to. We’re able to greet the day, knowing that exciting milestones are coming up.

A perfect example of one is our monthly recap of what’s exciting us around the internet. We like to spend a little bit of time on a regular basis, combing through an abundance of articles and deciding what sort of information you – the best community of customers around – will appreciate. It’s no easy feat, let us tell you. But it’s totally worth it. Bonus? It keeps us on our A-game so that we remain the best in the business at offering you a better view. Here’s the best of April:

But there’s a lot of nostalgia and value in looking at our history and what’s brought us the good parts of life today. As a company that truly loves homes and the way that they’re built, archaeology is special to us. It’s also special to this group and their construction counterparts, who are unearthing some sensational relics.

Straight from the article, “As ­development continues to tear through hidden civilizations across the continent, investigations like this are becoming common; in fact, they’re often required by legislation. While researchers once bored trenches exclusively on behalf of museums and universities, many now work on job sites. These commercial archaeologists dig up and analyze finds for private companies like the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA), a primary contractor on HS2. Because their work is tied to the pace and scale of building projects, their targets are quite random, and discoveries can be boom or bust.” Check out this link for more information.
