Anyone here install windows? Local to southern California, Orange county to be specific. I need some help installing a 8'x4' bay window.
 
I do it, among other things, for a living. But I'm way booked for the next few months or so. Sorry.
Just curious...what brand and is it retrofit or new construction?

Anderson window. I'm replacing two side by side windows. I have to rough frame in a new opening. I'm looking for someone to help only with the actual installaltion of the window. The other work I'll do myself.

OT corbina, do you fly fish the surf?

Sweet. Andersen windows are very nice. And yes I do flyfish the surf. Although not as much lately. Just too busy. I used to go at least a couple times a week. How about you?

Well just to be more objective, Andersen are on the average are one of the lower cost adn quality brands you can buy in replacment vinyl windows. I know this due to having I think 5 different companies come out to our home to give estimates and demo different brands. All in all andersen were the lowest on the scale of like 12 brands we were shown.

Are they a vinyl window that your doing? If so you might want to spend the extra 100-500$ per window to ensure a longer lasting, more efficient, better looking, and less likely to yellow brand. Even atrium would be a upgrade of some value. FYI to have 21 windows in my home replaced, Window master and Andersen were 10,200 , Atrium were 12,500, certinteed like 15800 and then there were even more $ ones that I dont even think I would ever have the $ for lol

Grant, I used to be a fishing maniac a couple years back. 4 in the morning before the job and after till sometimes 10 at night about 2-3 times a week. Lately I've got too much going on and not enough time (or money).

Hope the front end install went okay. I think I would have stopped by but I was on at the job site today.

Robert, I don't know what you're talking about with regards to the Andersen windows. They don't make cheap vinyl replacement windows. They only make wood windows and doors with the option of vinyl or aluminum cladding. I've installed windowmaster, atrium, milgard, certainteed, Marvin, jeldwen, .....and Andersen. The Andersens are the best by far of the ones I mentioned with the exception of the Marvins. The Marvins are the shiznet, and you'll pay for them too.

No worries. Install went pretty smooth for the most part. Still a couple of parts away from soup, but we are close.

Just an FYI, there is talk of an overnighter to Truckhaven Hills (Salton Sea area) to wheel in a couple of weeks (Saturday and come back on Sunday early). Family friendly and there will be some women drivers there. See if you can swing it, I'd love to check out your stroked rig.

That would definitely be a possibility if the wife and I weren't going to be in NORWAY visiting my in-laws for the holidays. Maybe next time.

I dabble, I'm in the process of setting up a rig for the surf. Got a redington rod, hoping to get the reel for Christmas. the nice thing is that the office is less than a mile from Huntington Harbor and only a couple of miles from Bolsa Chica.

Stephan, are you up for trying kayak fishing? Great way to get to the spots while being stealth and I could always use more fishing buds.

Do you go to Bob Marriotts for stuff? I've known some of the guys there for years. If you ever need advice or help on flyfishing don't hesitate to ask or go see Bryan at Marriotts. He's a good friend of mine. He can help you out.

Negative. I have people go over to Malibu in Sunset Beach and rent one. Cheap and the yaks are designed for fishing with stability being key.
