Really? That's the line we are looking at for our farmhouse replacement windows.

They're real nice but we wish we had done heavier locks. No worries in this neighborhood but I was surprised they were lightweight.

Good to know. We have an appointment with one of their sales reps next week. How are they on price?

The Andersen's were an upgrade from what the GC had spec'd so I don't have a good price.

So I'm done with walk and took this shot this am. I had extra pavers so I fixed any pieces that were off and added some loam. I'll add more loam and seed in the spring and fill in loam and mulch in spring as well and the grass will cover the edges of pavers that aren't perfect.

I'm considering building a back "deck" out of pavers. Any tips on how to do that?? What's under them?

In Missouri where you do get frost, I'd get rid of any topsoil, dark material that'd hold moisture, then add 6" of gravel and 1" of rough sand. At least that's how I was told to do it. The old timers still use stone dust instead of sand but it can hold moisture and heave so I did sand. It's not going to be a good patio if it's heaved or uneven in a couple of years.
