No Covid talk in da 500s....

That's what you said about aids...

Truck washed... some exercising in the back yard... I need a nap.

Jonesie needs new tin foil.

No one as sorry as that dude...

Offer him $150 for all and sell them at $4 a pop.

that's what my Kelly thermostat does...and I'm comfortable with that...


and Anlin windows are great, less $ than the national brands...but the salesman was a nutjob...we negotiated a deal on our sliding patio doors after we agreed to a deal on the windows...more than half off "list" price, which is lower than advertised price for national brand...

he called to say he made a mistake and wanted to renegotiate the price, after he put the order in...I refused...he came over and tried to re-do the deal, and after 15 minutes and his raised and angry voice, I told him to get out...next day he pounded on the door again, and we called police...he got the message and didn't bother us again

we got our windows and patio doors re-done, no muss no fuss installation...we did notice that the outdoor noise was lower somewhat with the double pane vs old single pane...never did put a hammer to the windows, as was done in the sales pitch to show their strength, but couldn't tell if the house was cooler...couldn't tell by looking at our electric and gas bills to compare

it seems like maybe some things should never go back to the way they were... like maybe we stop eating from community troughs of food...

I know... this is a COVID free zone but I just gotta ask...

Re: post 413 - Sounds like some real concrete assessments there. In what edition of USA Today was this info-graphic published?

I was hoping you were going to tell me I never had to play tennis again...

in my current state that would be a "risk level 4000."

you didn't drink enough...

I really wish I could play tennis again...one of life's pleasures, for me...

but along with years of running, years of tennis, after an orthopedist told me I should stop both activities, wrecked both knees...

had knee replacement done on the right knee, and have severe arthritis in the other but it hasn't gotten worse since I ........stopped ................running and playing tennis...

Probably. Only had two bud lights left after camping.

Fell asleep easily, but it didn't last.

Five hours? Like how much land do you have?

corey must cut his grass like that old Asian lady in our neighborhood...she uses a small scissors, and cuts one blade at a time...

Corey.
You using a Push mower or a ride on??? Either way 5 hours is too damn much time. LOL

At least the yard looks nice.

Always preferred racquetball.

Pickleball is all the rage here, with many tennis courts converted to pickleball courts.

We'd been looking to replace our windows the last 5-6 years so had done some research earlier. Read and heard only good things about the company we bought from. We ended up with Anlin Windows. Vinyl. Mitered corners. Argon gas. Dunno if they're double glazed, Low E glass or if they insulate the old cavities. Do we need to be concerned about those?

highly unlikely you got taken.
and if they have Argon gas, then by definition they have to be double glazed (maybe triple even) cuz the gas goes between the panes of glass. You'll know if you have a compromised seal if you get some fogging in that cavity...though I don't know if that happens in year round warm weather.

Been years, but I always preferred mitered too.

Insulating the old cavities would be more helpful in terms of energy savings by preventing inside heat from escaping, not a goal for you. In old Northeast homes the rope balances were in there and it always felt cold around the window casing in the Winter.

I wasn't trying to tell you anything specific other than what you apparently already knew.

Enjoy them, it will a pleasure just opening and closing.

Old Midwest homes too. We used to live in a 1910 home with original windows. I swear a screen would have less of a breeze through those things in the winter

8-10 grand....

MACS, buy direct from the manufacturer and cut out the middle man. Cut out the contractor. You don't need to pay them a profit each on the windows. Finally negotiate hard with 3 or 4 contractors. Tell all of them who ever is willing to work for wages gets the job. In a bad economy wages will pay bills for them. Lots of contractors have no work now. Use all of that to your advantage. Play hard ball.

Covid 500 foul!

Covid 500 foul!

Upon further review, the ruling on the field stands. 10 yards and loss of down.

Because you lub me. Just call me Freckles! (That's his pet name for me.) Beep Beep!
