Behind the Scenes: How a Window Gets Made

By: Bruno May 23, 2013


This spring, I had a chance to tour the manufacturing facility at Andersen Windows Corporation in Bayport, Minnesota. Bayport is a small town (about an hour from Minneapolis) on the banks of the scenic St. Croix river. It's a beautiful setting, and one Andersen has enjoyed for a hundred years. Preserving the river is really important to the company, and one reason they take great care to produce their windows and doors in an environmentally-conscious way. Read on to see what I learned about how windows get made, and watch my video… Continue Reading

Sneak Peek: Curbly House Bathroom Reveal

By: Bruno Apr 14, 2013

Our bathroom makeover reveal teaser
Guess what? It still feels like winter here in Minnesota. Last year around this time we were happily painting a new nursery for our then-unborn baby boy, with the windows open and a warm breeze wafting through the house. This year, not so much:

Hey, what's going on here? Isn't this supposed to April?

FYI, here's what things looked like last year for National Painting Week (notice the short sleeves and generally increased level of happiness):

So what's all that stuff sitting in our… Continue Reading

Hi Bruno! This site is terrific, thank you!

I really love the wedding photobooth software that you created. It's the best thing available on the web right now and I really want to use it for my wedding. I am not technically inclined at all & am having the same issues stated in the thread w/ the PDF part. Has anyone fixed the bug? I have no idea how to do what the suggestions say to do. Sidenote - Was wondering if the photobooth preview window can get bigger so my guests can see it as it takes their pictures. Also the email option would be cool, but not neccessary.

Thanks so, so, so much for your help!

This is the best web site I've ever been to! Thank you for being so helpful and smart!

This site is great and very resourceful, Bruno! Love it.

I live in Indonesia and i notice that it's not listed in your 'drop box' in the country section to choose from.

So I left it blank.

Its okay though... no big deal
