    That gives a whole new twist on "measure twice - cut once!" Add to that "and take into account proper configuration!"

    Will you be moving the door from the main to the addition or leaving the addition without a lock?

    I know you would prefer to have the other windows, so they can all match, but we have sliding windows, and we really like them. I have always have problems with double hung windows, and the frames take more of the light.
    In regards to the insulation Aspen chewed up, that would be great for the thin arms between the modified framing.
