Yes I was joking. I’ll probably use green white pine. Make them very simply. When they rot out down the road, I’ll just make new ones. It’s just a barn after all.

Well contractor replaced the gasket today and determined one hinge isn’t functioning correctly, so brand new and requires a new gasket and now hinge.

not their fault.
All components suffering from tempermental temperature fluctuation outside of engineering. Specs made from substandard recycled metals combined with delays due to extended exposure to uncontrolled temperatures during transport from factory when it was locked in a shipping cargo from China cause no one wanted to work to unload such cargo when it arrived.
So get ready for that bill to pay everyone along the food chain blaming some one else. And COVID is not some one u can blame Or punch in the face for stupidity.
Hopefully the new stuff isn't as bad as the old.
I am fighting dry rotted/ f'd up door gaskets on brand new doors on 2 jobs right now.
That's my explanations why......

I built trough gutters for my house.....had to remove them eventually ... they were just filling with pine needles constantly.....left way too many trees close to the house when I built......kept them on the family room addition since we use that side exit exclusively.
Full discloser......i replaced the rough sawn pine troughs with PVC this time.

Andersen

On a clients house i was asked to install Provia doors. As I looked at them I saw the sills were flawed. Provia sent new sills , I then installed the new sills and job done. A few months I get a call from Renewal by Andersen, they got my number from Provia. I then agreed to meet with Andersen people to look at a Provia that was having issues. I thought it was weird that they asked if I had signage on my truck and if I could remove it. After telling them no he wanted to meet me there and drive me to the site. After waiting for 45 min I called him and he said oh I forgot to call you to cancel. WTF. I went to the house and looked at the door. If you looked at the door facing the outside the right jamb was plumb, The left side was out 3/4 of an inch! the installer had to drill a new hole for the passive door bolt at the top as it didn't line up. You could see outside! I asked what she paid for the door(DBBL 3'0 with side lights.) $ 9500.00 No scruples no quality They suck! She sued them! I wouldn't let them install a dog house.

windows

I am a retired contractor and as a rule always used grace ice and water at all windows. Grace around all edges, install window and then grace over flange and it sticks together. Never had a leak. Back in the day windows were wood and we put a spline around opening. For all you youngins out there a spline was a 6 in. strip of felt paper. Then they made window flashing rolls of Grace thank god. Also we used red rosin paper before house wrap. I guess I am a dinosaur that loves to fish!
