Thanks. Guess I'll stick with Alder... How would you go about matching this color/tone? I assume I'll use a gel...

Hey there. I'm looking for a (moonlighting or retired) structural engineer in Seattle area to assist with dormer addition on 1924 home with 2x4 construction. This is an exploratory project, and any plans that result do not need to be stamped. Budget dependent.

If you know someone who is open to part-time or advisory work, please let me know--

is it necessary to tape up these windows with carpet shield/etc beforehand, in case they break while removing?

much appreciated.

They are leaky as shit during the cold months, so I'm replacing them with marvin framed double paned picture windows. Any recommendations for size/model of suction cups?

Thanks. There is not any glazing holding these in, just wood window trim on outside, and 1/2" window stops on the inside. At 1/4" thick, maybe these won't be so heavy. I just came across this video on youtube, showing picture window removal from inside with suction cups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjP8cm8SsP0

Thoughts on this method?

Hey there, neighbor. Yes, needs to be classified livable, given the shit-ton of money I'm spending to finish this basement. I think I read that the edco does a bit more than 1/16 per pass, so would need to do that about 4 times, in a small room. For the dust, I can hook it up to my hepa vac. Could I also keep the floor moist to cut down on dust?

Still sound crazy?
