    Suprised you weren't doing a dance around that thing. That's some celebration right there. I hate to spend the extra money to have it hired done, but relieved my whole winter won't be consumed with old wood and fiberglass!!

    Well, dont feel too guilty. After all, your paying an AMERICAN to WORK! Cant bitch about that can you? I mean, better than them taking hand outs! We like to do things our selves, because we aren't helpless and its good for us. But, replacing the front door and then the 18 out of 20 windows in our house in the fall, is not something we are going to do. All said and done its $8500 for a fiberglass door, good storm door, and Pella windows and a local guy to remove the old, put in the new, match the trim, and haul away the old. I mean, yeah its more money, but, its going to someone who is working for it! The guy thats doing it came to measure, nice guy, dont feel bad paying to do manual labor... (although, its a bit high, $400 to do the front door!)

    It needs to be a publicly accessible video, and then use the Insert Video tool (looks like a filmstrip icon) to share it on this forum. The video can be on Youtube, Vimeo, Dropbox, wherever, but it can't have security on it.

    Ha, that was actually over a month ago. Stringers r in and glassed. Fella I hired is waiting on resin to do floor right now.
    He has done a few things different than I may have, but I believe he is doing a quality job. Will post some pics tonight.

    Here are a few pics of the process. Stringers have since been glassed in and gridwork has been installed between them.
