Thats TOO FUNNY

Replacing a window sill takes at most 25 mins

thanks for the response, the name threw me for a loop I bend 908 casing all the time, really doesn't take much more time then U shaped casing.

Got a call for a siding job, customer asked me If we could make an "anderson bend" in the coil for the window wrap.... Anyone know what an Anderson bend is?? Is this maybe a geographic term for something I already make and call by a different name?? Thanks

TRU, apparently you missed the Type F installation in the AAMA manual, vinyl replacement window, aluminum clad with a wooden nailing fin, installed with studs through the wood and properly flashed with duct tape (brown packaging tape may be substituted) oh yea and the nailing fin goes right over the...

While we are on the subject anyone care to share their favorite way for removing outside stops? Ive used fancy rotary tools, jamb cutters, cordless circular saws. Anyone have a fast relatively easy way? Or some sort of jig?

Hey guys, Im looking into carrying Eagle in my line of windows, wondering if i could get some feedback Thanks

The Anderson window is Vinyl perma-clad. Anderson offers a full line of matching trim for their windows

Its called a flush fin replacement. If done properly it will perform the same as a full rip out that is done properly. A flush install will cost less, however you will lose some glass area. A full rip out will cost more and you will have about the same glass area that you have now. The key in both c...

The door still operates almost like new. All of the framings is intact, house is vinyl sided and trim wrapped. the glazing apeared to be intact the wood behind the cladding was still in good condition no water damage. It is a very heavy door though. The only way i can describe it is when the edge of...

Its on a second story deck 1000 feet from a beach I wouldnt say it gets pounded though. The sill is aprox 6" off the deck
