Gluing the door....
Jim needed to get the awning window ordered for the dormer in the stairwell and wanted to go talk to Lowe's about the price again. But first, he made a template of the window sizes - we decided to go with a slightly smaller size than originally planned for.
When Jim got to Lowe's, he sat right next to the rep and walked through all of the window options (there is over 20 decisions to be made!). Each time an option was added, Jim could see the price change at the bottom of the page. One line item made the price jump $700! Believe it or not, it was the placement for the crank to open the awning window. Jim had picked the middle of the bottom - that's where it is for our cantilever windows. But when they chose the right side, the price down $700. The pro rep called the guys over from the window department over and they had no clue about that - it certainly isn't flagged that that option is a premium one. If Jim would have just gone over the quote again, we would have been at the same price point. Amazing!
That money saved made the decision to buy the replacement door for the box truck much easier! Jim will get that ordered and move along on that project as well.
Once Jim got home, he got started on his final project of the day. The soffit pieces were dry enough to move so he then took the pole barn man door off and set it up. Then he had to clean and sand it...
He had to get his new paint gun set up and then he started painting. It turned out beautifully and was so much easier for him without the cord.
