Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 24, 2010 8:26 pm This afternoon I was very surprised to be able to enter my house through a window. The window couldn't shut completely and with a slide & climb, tee da, I went into the house. I brought it up with SS on the bowed jamb during frame stage when the windows were just hung in place. SS just brushed this aside, telling me a window service will fix it.

BEWARE EVERYONE, and look carefully at all your window jambs & check for failure. With 2nd PCI on Thursday, I really don't think there's time to get this window replaced but I will play along and go for the 2nd PCI. Another thing I needed advise is that it's only today I noticed the garage unit brackets are installed in a slanted position. Picture below. Any one has such experience? Is that a cause for concern? http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy81/rocketleaves/IMG_8129.jpg Old Home Restoration / Renovation Cheers mate!
