Installing Home Depot/Lowes windows...
Posted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 11:28 am
Hello all,
I just bought a 2000 Homes of Merit in Florida. The home needs some TLC....In the kitchen on the roof had an exhaust fan which leaked water onto the exterior board.. The Roof board is how thick?
Now to the window.. We removed all the drywall and insulation.....The home use to have a corner sink which takes up way to much space in the kitchen. There is one of those aluminum mobile home windows which is 301/2 by 301/2. I want to move the window to where we are going to put the new sink. At Home depot they have a 35 5/8 by 25 5/8 double pane glass. Now the crazy thing, I bought 4 2 x 6 studs to frame out the new window and also reinforce the area since I have to cut a stud to put in the window...The boards are not 2x6 it is 2x5 who the hell makes 2x5 studs........
Also the aluminum windows has a lip for the vinyl siding looking at the windows at home depot and lowes does not.....
