Hi I am looking at a new cottage construction in the spring and have started looking at the classifieds for some cheap deals. I found a thousand dollar window for 300 but its called a insert. it just fits in the hole and doesn’t have any outer trim that lays up against your outer wall (brick mold maybe its called???) Anyways I dont want to buy a great deal if its useless. Its brand new and never been installed. So whats the difference between an insert and a normal window? how can it be installed or can it?

I have a two foot level with two vials in the center and two on each end. I don’t know what the bubbles are supposed to do and I cannot find instructions anywhere for reading this tool . Are they supposed to balance simultaneously? I am attempting to install vinyl windows.

I’ll probably buy and have installed 10 windows, too. Price by the square foot on the siding.

Dadof4Kiddies asked:


I have a condo in southern California, I could sell it for about $400,000 as it is 1650 square feet, 3bd/2.5 ba and has a yard and 2 car garage. It is pretty much a single family home, only it does not have a front yard and it has a condo ownership.

It is not attached to any other condos and looks like a regular home.

I want to do some light remodeling like a new kitchen, update the bathrooms, and replace the doors and tear down a wall. I have already done a few home improvements like a new patio, new vinyl windows and new paint, appliances and carpet.

My whole project will cost about $33,000 including labor and materials.

My wife and I plan to stay in the house since we have paid it off and it is in a good location in California.

Is $33,000 too much to invest in my condo? I could get 400k now and its not looking so hot. My reason for the updates is not for resell but to make our home more custom so we stay happy where we are.

Brett N asked:


I have a computer with Windows Vista. I am using Signmate Elite version 6.5v3. Are the two compatible? I go to install it, enter in the product key, click ok and then the dialouge box disappears and nothing else happens. I am using this program to cut vinyl graphics for my sprint car.
