And, as we had a dusting of snow overnight, it makes me very glad that the new roof is on. I was wondering about your window, as i recall that you were loathe to change it, but structurally, it seemed prudent to do so. i do hope whenever the window installation day arrives, that it's warm enough outside not to give you too much trouble.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564223084915828070.post-38095629609897022482013-11-12T08:19:43.262-05:002013-11-12T08:19:43.262-05:00Your experience sounds like a good dream to me.

He ordered our window, he told us when we called him a month later to see what was taking so long. We are still waiting for the window to come in. Apparently, the wrong size came in and he had to send it back. It is now 32 degrees here and I am not really excited about a full day with a giant picture window being changed out in our home.

They did ask whether to email or mail the estimate, and i said email, so perhaps they assumed I'd want them to email everything else.<br /><br />I also found it interesting that they weren't worried about receiving payment. And refreshing, that they'd assume i'd pay, rather than jump to the conclusion that i was a deadbeat.megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564223084915828070.post-8332633870542195072013-11-11T10:08:59.894-05:002013-11-11T10:08:59.894-05:00Joanne, i learned it in my banking days.

No plastic. Is it something about businesses who do this type of work?

I was a merchant once; I know. Earlier this week I delivered some tools to the saw sharpener, a young fellow. He told me it would be $20, cash or check, get them Wednesday. I went in Wednesday with my check and he volunteered for the first time that plastic was also acceptable, with a 3% surcharge. It amused this old lady.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.com
