Windows And Doors

We got the new windows for the house from Lowe’s. They all went in despite how crooked our house is with almost no trouble. We are finally wrapping up that project, sealing and painting around the outside today, and I’ll be finishing them up on the inside tomorrow. It may seem like it took forever but remember we are the type to enjoy naps, trips, and football so much more than house work. Everything in moderation, right? We managed to get it done just in time for the snow etc., so we’re all good.

The doors, which we got from Home Depot, are another story. We put all but 4 of them in right away, then took time off to work on outside projects that needed to be done before winter. Getting back to work on the doors, they have been a mess. They do not like cooperating with the crooked house, they are stubborn. To top it off, Home Depot did a crappy job with our measurements and we’ve had to trim them, which is a major PITA.

Fortunately for my parents they now have a bathroom and room door for when they visit. The guest room closet is another story.

So I would recommend Lowe’s for windows. Not Home Depot for doors. Even if your house isn’t crooked.

Also, feel free to come visit and work on trimming or painting or fixing or something. Otherwise they might end up like this for a while.
