Two brand new custom built windows…
.
.
Installed and leaking air like a sieve through gaps on the sides.
So yesterday our contractor spent 8 full hours tinkering and tweaking, measuring and leveling, reading pamphlets and instructions, searching the internet for alternative installation instructions trying to figure out what was wrong. He’s a precise and careful worker and wanted to solve the problem.
.
.
He took them out, he put them back in. He shimmed, he measured, he leveled 100 times. He completely exhausted his bag of tricks and still came up empty handed.
A testament to his honesty and character? He didn’t charge us for a single minute. He has a new wife and baby at home and lost an entire day’s pay trying to make it right.
When he hit a brick wall, he harangued the company where the windows were purchased and insisted their representative come inspect the problem.
So now we wait.

While the other three uninstalled windows take up residence in front of my car.

And btw…

If anyone is in need of roughly 120 Life magazines from the 1940’s?
I can hook you up.
Just don’t tell my husband.

What a great guy. It sucks to have your problem, but at least you have your best man working on it. Fingers crossed for you, and hoping you have some unseasonably warm weather while you wait.

Well, damn. Sorry this is still going on, and custom windows huh? I sure hope the rep can come up with an answer as to why these don’t fit. Ugh, how aggravating.

It’s maddening. Not to mention ugly and inconvenient.

Oh boy. That would worry me. I’m very glad you have such a competent and principled renovation guy on your side. I hope it gets figured out soon.

Start giving those Life Magazines away as Singles so the Hubby won’t notice. Hey, Halloween is coming. Throw them in Trick-Or-Treat Bags. Lol

That’s a great idea…. but we live in the country and rarely have any kids.

You would think… but we’ve given them a few things in the past and they’re quite picky.

I can only imagine his frustration about your windows. I hope the manufacturer can figure out what is going on.
I’ll pass on all that Life, but thanks!
