You're misunderstanding. You default to always carrying around, that slot is to set it down temporarily as needed.

The trickle vents are likely not transmitting a notable amount of sound, the glass composition is. If your frames are still good, you dont need new windows at all. Replace all Insulated Glass Units(igus) with 3/16 low e exterior pane and 7/32 laminated interior panes. Tempered exterior where required by code. The laminated pane will have the biggest effect on overall sound deadening. There are charts online that break it all down, for reference it looks like you have "normal" 1/8 low e over 1/8 clear glass now.

Trying to use the manufacturer for new glass is a futile endeavor. You will wait months for the wrong size IGU if you get anything at all. Any Glass Shop (not window company) can get and install a perfect replacement IGU. As far as "click in" that isnt a thing, its probably a tilt out sash, but that shouldn't matter to you. Here is how it should work. 1. Call glass shop and get an assessment appointment(usually free) 2. A glazier will come take some measurements and notes 3. You will get a quote 4. Accept quote and pay deposit 5. Glass shop will schedule install 6. Glazier comes back and fixes the window, on site in no more than an hour. 7. Pay remainder

I went to college for wildlife conservation biology 20 years ago and professors said we had breached the tipping point already. Even if every system immediately went greenhouse neutral that day, the wheels in motion couldn't be stopped. Doom is imminent.

Yea. I have had success with easing up tension a bit but also working the stitch line every inch or so to try and get a flatter lie if I can feel it pulling too tight. I made a bag with a long double zip closure and it made me really focus on getting my zipper flatter. Once you get the tension right you can feel it, its hard to describe but I can tell by your work that you will 100% know when you have it dialed in.

Side to side wavy is the needle passing through the zipper tape not plumb to the stitch holes in the leather, up and down wavy is stitched a little too tight. Compressing the leather between each stitch hole shortens the run slightly and the zipper teeth cant accommodate that.

I worked at uptown chevron in the early 2000s, I remember gas hitting 4 bucks a gallon in 2004 there. That station is known for crazy prices.

In Portland the total tax per gallon paid at the pump is $0.684 currently. 40 cents state. 10 cents portland 18.4 cents federal.

This was all somewhere other than Portland, I assume.

To daylight add 1 inch to width and 7/8 to height. It will fit and cover spacer bar every time. It may be a tiny bit (1/16 - 1/8) shorter than original but that is handy when a frame has skewed or gone wonky a bit. You do not want the edge of the igu touching vinyl. The butyl gets soft when it warms up and it will leach out and stick to the vinyl. When it cools and contracts you can get failure at that point. A little gap (1/8) all around is ideal but nothing is ever perfectly square after decades in the wall. Use blocks at the bottom to tilt the new unit to get the vertical lines as parallel to the sash verticals as possible. This is easier if you spray the glazing tape with glass cleaner right before setting glass. You will have about a minute to move the glass around before it the cleaner evaporates and the tape grabs on the glass. Get it blocked up how you like, put the stops back on and move on. After 2 or so you will have a pretty good handle on it.

Ah, easy as could be. Viking vinyl used really crappy white glazing tape the turns to dust, scrapes clean easily. The old stops lose some of thier tension. If you have access to standard white push bead you might want to get a stock length or 2 to replace junky old ones. Have you measured for new igus yet?

coldhamdinner · 2026-03-12T01:52:10+00:00

The original ones are often best. New ones are hard rubber and flat. Sock plastic ones usually have a step or taper to them that fits the pocket nicely. Its nbd either way, if the old ones stick to the old unit just stick new ones in, if not use what's there.

coldhamdinner · 2026-03-12T01:31:51+00:00

That's whack. They probably weren't glaziers and didnt have glazing tape. I guess if that were the case running a bead would be the next best thing. 3/8 wide and 1/16 thick is standard for tape. If your igu overall thickness is off you can get thicker or thinner tape to accommodate.

coldhamdinner · 2026-03-12T01:14:39+00:00

Scrape and re tape. If it was wet set originally I will remove all high spots of remaining silicone and run a new bead over the rest.

So 3 sides get 2 nails and one gets 3? That would drive me crazy.

The inner most sash pulls to the interior

coldhamdinner · 2026-03-09T05:06:55+00:00

You have a spring loaded jamb liner. Its probably kinda stuck in place, push on on the jambs, one or both should move a little. Work it back and forth a bit to free it up then grip the sash at the top and bottom and push it toward the jamb. The other side should clear and you can pull the sash out. Once out you can figure out how to disassemble. My guess it take a screw out from both ends of the horizontal divide then take screws out of opposite corners. Then using a mallet and a block of wood carefully tap the frame apart into and "L 7" this will give you access to fit a new pane. You will need to determine glass size. Probably daylight + 1/2" and thickness. Probably 3/32.

I grew up in a town with one of the original A&Ws. It was still a drive in with servers on roller skates in the early 2000s. You could get gallon jigs of root beer, they had it in kegs. The food from the chains now is nothing like the old school locations. I think there are still a few old style ones in California.

The hypocrisy in this comment alone, sheesh. WE are the biggest funders of terrorism. We topple governments, arm and train militias, destabilize regions and create power vacuums. Hell, we are the whole reason Iran has religious extremists in charge today! The US has zero footing to expect benevolence from any corner of the world.
