In terms of security, we feel that it is pretty secure....plus we have several dogs that are ready to go nuts on strangers that might try to get in. We have thought of getting a couple of alarms too...but we didn't think of security bars....definitely something to consider. :)Charissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017873126441852762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775988332644767770.post-8242406386446667882013-03-20T13:41:35.584-07:002013-03-20T13:41:35.584-07:00It’s nice to see the basement window is looking gr...It’s nice to see the basement window is looking great and secured! The latter is one aspect we should be paying extra attention to. If you don’t mind, I’d like to suggest putting some security bars over yours, since it isn’t shatter-proof glass, is it? Our basement window is only yet to arrive, by the way. <a href="http://www.mckinnisroofing.com/" rel="nofollow">-->Rodney</a>Rodney Ortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04011236778095179787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775988332644767770.post-6380532303774473042012-05-25T07:31:58.396-07:002012-05-25T07:31:58.396-07:00Hi Wendy,

You are a really great photographer. I wish I had an eye like that!

I'm calling tonight to "officially" get in the house to take photos and check things out.

See what the PM says and if you need to talk with the SR. If all else fails you could show the pictures to a local window installer or even talk with the county inspector for that matter.<br /><br />All things being said I think that it is something Ryan should and ideally will acomidate you on in order to make things right.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386807936042986024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775988332644767770.post-45526271748500302562012-05-25T04:47:46.100-07:002012-05-25T04:47:46.100-07:00you take wonderful pics. you should come visit my...you take wonderful pics. you should come visit my house and take a few. ;)<br />As Thomas said, I'm jealous of the spray foam insulation.Sgt.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908060926056178459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775988332644767770.post-63348869481950623872012-05-25T04:40:49.605-07:002012-05-25T04:40:49.605-07:00Hey Thomas,

I'm pretty sure they didn't take the window out and reinstall it with the flashing actually making contact with the seal. If you look close you (at least when I zoom in) it looks like all they did was tape the shiny flashing up on the outside wall. So there isn't anything protecting directly underneath the window on the sill. :( What should I do? What would you do?Charissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17017873126441852762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3775988332644767770.post-92098183939314430362012-05-25T02:45:14.827-07:002012-05-25T02:45:14.827-07:00Love the basement window!
