Yea, what he said!

Yes, me too.
Double sliding is new to me. The interior blinds are the coolest.
I about ordered the interior blinds for the house windows as I'm replacing them all. Until I found out how much the price was. Ouch!

The door is a Farley, vinyl casement. 5’ wide opening it fits, from Home Depot.
Sits on a silicone bed, and no hardware in the bottom sill. Sides and top only, so no leaks, and since it’s a vinyl frame you need to achieve squareness by tightening the screws properly.,and evenly.
Wasn’t hard, maybe three hours to swap.
And the inner blind works off two sliders flush to the edges of the glass. Ones at the top control blind angle. One along the vertical controls up and down.
Screen door slides either side and locks both ways as well.
Pretty happy for $1400 CDN.
Easy to open and better energy savings to boot.

I see. Thanks for sharing this info.
Im having a company make windows and one door for my house. The door is done but the windows wont be ready for another month or so. The wife said to hold off on installing the door so there is only one big mess and not two. The ones in the house now are from the early 90s and not energy efficient so I opted to have them all dont at one time enstead of me doing it one at a time per weekend. Im hopeing it will make a big difference in my electric bill this coming snow season.

My house is about 25 years old, it already had double glazing when we bought it with wooden frames. The coolest thing i reckon is that the glass is sort of concave and no one can see in as long as the light are off.

I can even stand at the window naked and watch people walk by if I want. I don't though, honest

What do you want to see, the windows or the lights

Am I still invited to yours one day

The hallway above my stairs now has new flooring. And the upstairs bathroom has new flooring, vanity, mirror, and lighting. New flooring in the two small bedrooms then I Refinished a large roll top desk that has all the cubby holes and slots and a Make-up table that has 5 drawers. This is what I've been doing for my last two weekends.

I'm done. Sorry, too tired for pics. I got to shower and go to bed so I can go to work and get some rest!
