These windows were put in June of 2007 with all new frames, cost me 5,000 for 13 windows, but man are they nice! The CA room was added on way before I purchased it in...

Re: 1972 Universal Kitchen Door! Help ME

Thanks JD Yes one of my friend's husband thought some of screws had come loose or come out.

Mobilehome paneling
