You just put the screws through the sides of the window frame , inside the house , instead of using the nailing flange .
The screws will be visible , so get some that are as close to the same color of the frame as possible , unless you’re going to paint the frames .
We ordered our with the frames in the color we wanted so no painting required .

Start in the attic at the top
Knock the bricks into the chimney one at a time and have someone at the bottom with a flat shovel to remove them as they fall. Toss them into a five gallon bucket and haul them out .

You plan to live in a house under construction ?
I’m guessing in a rv in the property ?

Why wouldn’t something in your stomach enter your bloodstream ?
You know , like caffeine and alcohol and protein and everything else that’s in your stomach ?
Either way , be very careful welding galvanized steel .
The fumes will fuck you up.

It’s no wives tale . The fumes go into your lungs and into your blood and will make you very sick
The milk goes into your digestive system and then into your blood on its way to your kidneys . And on the way , while the poison fumes that got into your blood are in the blood at the same time as the milk is in your blood , the poison fumes are attracted to the milk and somehow will attach to the milk and pass out with your urine .
Trust me on this , you do NOT want to inhale the fumes from welding galvanized metal. And if you do , or think you may have , drink as much milk as you can stand for the next two or three days .
My neighbor is a certified welder , it’s not a old wives tale , or if it is , it’s an accurate one .
Plus , unless your lactose intolerant, whats it gonna hurt to drink a bunch of milk ?
