Replacement windows - acceptable top/bottom gaps?

Comments (27)newhomebuilder, sorry I couldn't get logged again until now. We had painted first, then this other stuff came up. Painter taped off the new floor but not the walls as he said he preferred to cut it in. He's been a wonder since the last horrible painters so I'm letting him do his thing. As I type, he is finishing all the touch-ups. The walls are all BM Flowering Herbs which I absolutely love....See MoreCellular blinds - "top down bottom up" and light gaps at the top?
Comments (1)I have the HD top-down-bottom-up room darkening blinds and there is no light gap between the blinds and the head rail. Mine are around 9 years old, so you might want to go to a local HD showroom and look at the current designs to confirm there will be no gap....See MoreIs putty on the bottom of a new sink acceptable?
Comments (14)Yes, that was our concern (what little we know about fireclay sinks). I called and got voicemail. Left a message. Then got an email later today that said the manufacture was now "looking into whether this qualified for a return or replacement." I'll push back if they start getting squirrelly. Thanks everyone!! Oh, and Joseph, do you have another type of sink you'd recommend? I'm just very tired of the stainless steal look (and fighting the hard water stains.) I love the look of the fireclays and enameled cast iron (which is outside our budget.) I did see enameled stainless steel and would be willing to give that a try if I could find one large enough (33 in, double basin preferred). Our budget is about $500....See MoreIs this an acceptable gap between a quartz counter and fridge panel?
Comments (13)The side splash is 3 cm thick and appears to be of a different slab/year (the veining is less white and less crisp/no small veins). Can it be milled thinner? Every inch counts in this kitchen. Black caulk might look better, am concerned about the fridge panel getting damaged at this point. And the bead of caulk doesn’t extend the inch past the cabinets/sits on the white cabinet. Photo of the other side for context. I am paying nearly $3000 for a 8x9” galley. MSI marquina midnight. We thought we might tile the backsplash eventually so asked for scribed to the wall as though we’d do no backsplash to give us the most options. Also, MSI minimum radius is 3/8.” Sink is still a little offset from cutout, silicone seeping out, cut areas a bit duller finish than gloss areas)....See MoreNoviceDIYer

4 years agoMakes sense given it was very difficult to describe. Here’s condition right now. I’ll make sure to post updates once all 4x windows are removed and rotter wood removed.

4 years agoOnly one of the first window and it was dark outside by the time I was ready to flash the rough opening. Doing j-channel in the wrong order without removing all siding is tough given insufficient space to nail flange in-place. The flashing overlaps onto the newly installed j-channel as instructed/recommended by Andersen’s instructions.
Note: Provided these windows are on my 4th floor, all work was completed from the interior with the exception of clapping the partially removed siding back in-place (I called someone else to do it, me and heights do not mix).
