[THE YETI]

Last time "your people" visited I caught them spooning on the couch after feeding them some hamburgers and hot dogs at the cookout.

I have since fired Nathan and Serge. We apologize for that.

How big is the door? My 6 ft door slider with fixed glass has like a 26” or 27” opening, iirc. Not really noticeable until you try to bring something through it though.

Hows the bugs in your area? Does 4 panel have some sort of screen? If so, 4 panel,

It's 16'x8'. It'll have screen. Avy (my cat) requires a screen. She doesn't go outside and we don't want bugs in either.

Prob end up with the 4 panel slider and some sort of retractable screen, that will be destroyed by a walk through, I'm certain

Not sure the series, but this is the brand we were quoted (prob base model)

gotcha these are "technically" 3x4' panels (12' wide total) but theres only two panels and the track is built into a wall pocket so that they slide completely open

And you dislike them?

40 years old now...they need to be rebuilt and the tracks needs to be replaced, but never going to find parts for them. also very inefficient

should be the least of your worries boss, you got a whole ass house to build

Windows and doors are one of the first things I have to order. They all have their pros and cons. Slider is not the most energy efficient. French doors take up space and block the view.

i meant the 40 years from now part
but lately its been the lack of being energy efficient that i dislike. end up with heavy shades covering each up on the inside

I gotcha.

Mine shouldn't have any direct sunlight beaming through it. The porch is covered and the way we positioned the house, the sun should cross it diagonally (north facing)

speaking of doors and longevity. If I was you, I’d talk to the builder about what style windows they’re installing. I have a new hatred for “new construction flanged” windows. Most common window for new construction duh

This house is 23 years old and due for windows. Not only does the siding need to come off around the windows, but this particular layout, it makes sense to just pull ALL of the siding on some areas of the house. That window above the front door will need a mason afterwards. And all the inside trim/frames need to be removed, ran through a table saw, reinstalled, caulked, and painted.

Had they just built window boxes with capping, you could replace the windows from inside the house with a few pieces of trim each.

Don’t mind me, just venting. But you might want to consider these options for future window replacement.

but he is right, im in same predicament... want to start replacing windows for impact rated and basically have to strip whatever full sheets are around each window and replace.
