Hi Chris,
Yes, I looked at the windows and spoke with Ken, the owner and fellow who
looked at our building.
Have changed my thinking on several points. Think we should proceed but
with the vinyl windows instead. Less upkeep and much better drains for
getting rid of water. But have to choose between a sand color and white.
While I prefer the sand color we have white on the west side of the house on
the large windows that I installed.
If we go with the vinyl, and that seems a no brainer to me we can use the
$300 saved to get the front door. I was very impressed by what I saw. It
is all aluminum, with two closing devices and has a deadbolt. But I think
we should get one with a solid panel below and the glass above. It is more
practical, costs only $30 more and we will not be forever trying to wipe
smudge marks off it. So that would be $500 installed but should last 15
years minimum.
Very impressed by Ken. Low key guy, very knowledgeable and helpful. Spent
about 20 minutes with him this AM.
That front door is very weather tight, all aluminum and secure. We do have
to get people to shut it fully so the wind can't grab it.
He also said that if our large vinyl windows on the west side are Milgard he
may be able to do something about that on warranty. He said he would look
at them when he is there. The seals are failed on a couple of those, I
believe.
Hope Janine is doing well and you get enough information to decide upn a
plan of action. Please say hi and give her my regards. She is a great
lady.
Will ponder this sand color vs white regarding the vinyl . Please run it by
everyone else. Probably should just go with the white as we already have
white vinyl on the west side.
Best regards,
Jim
