Windows and Doors and Jams ... OH MY!

Today we went to ANOTHER building supply place to look at windows and doors. Maybe he takes me because I hear the 'bones' of what the supplier is saying while the representative speaks DIRECTLY to the husband. Call me crazy.

Anyways, I have come to this conclusion. EVERY company is a smigin' away from being the same. Marvin and Pella do some little tweaks here and there to make their products special ... for people living in Maine! There are 4 levels: Lowest to low; mid-low that you could live with if you had to, middle to high which are nice solid windows, and 'ultimate whatever'.

JELD-WEN AND MARVIN WINDOWS

When I was listening to "that-man-who-doesn't-talk-to-wives" the middle to high product for Jeld-Wen and Marvin were not exact products (obviously) but I summarized his words to conclude - the end is the same - good solid windows that are back by great customer service companies that will service any repairs needed for years.

I chose something along these lines. I wanted as much view as I could possible get without nudging the structure of the house - turned out Jim needed some quiet time  to work on some serious math to redesign the corners of the house so it wouldn't blow over. Man! I love that he is such a great engineer!
