Illinois Chapter December 2020 BS Thread

Here we are ripping another month off of the crappiest calendar ever. One month left, come on 2021.

After everyone is vaccinated things will be better and we will be able to enjoy life again.

With no further ado lets start enjoying life again by posting here.

We had them come by a quote us a price of $7000. for our front window on the house. I ended up doing it myself with an Andersen window from the lumber yard for $2200. I thought Renewal by Andersen was too proud of their windows.

Yeah they have a deal going now.. Buy 1 get 40% off the second

I need 18 windows and they started at $47K

With the deal and incentives we were at $32K

I figure I could buy the best Anderson window at Home Depot for around $500 Each

That means I can do it all for $9K.. Could even be less if we catch a sale

Andersen's have nailing fins on the outside. I suppose that you don't have to use them.
