How are replacement windows priced?

<Meanwhile... back at the ranch...> jde watches carefully with binoculars from the neighbors tree as to not make the installers aware of his presence. Armed with a micrometer and digital manometer he patiently awaits the crew to head out for lunch... giving him the window of opportunity he so desperately desires....

You've got a great sense of humor. I like that! But, I don't like heights so I'll probably hide behind the neighbor's bushes instead of being in the tree!FenEx wrote:<Meanwhile... back at the ranch...> jde watches carefully with binoculars from the neighbors tree as to not make the installers aware of his presence.

You sure can say no but the 'Its America I can do what I wan' crap is just an excuse for sleezy sales tactics.windowman pa wrote:Why are you bashing Morris? its America you can say no! gooooooooood luck with your RBA
I'm sure many an older person on a fixed income has been snagged by these tactics and probabaly put off heating their house properly or paying for their drugs or medical needs.
Don't some of these sales guys have a conscience?
Micrometers
I actually once had a customer check the dow foam we put on his house with a micrometer. We used the 3/4" because it had a sort of tongue and groove, a little better than the square edged stuff.
Unfortunately it only measured 5/8", I explained to him it had probably been compressed a little. But nooo, he was not gunna give up that 1/8".
We ended up making the siding wholesaler replace it and re-installing it before siding the house.
So watch the micrometer jokes!!

LOL Scott.. sorry. The law actually protects contractors by the rule of standard practices and products. Just as a 2x4 is actually 1-1/2" x 3-1/2". Your homeowner didn't have a leg to stand on legally, but it's admirable that you took the next step.
