I have also considered ideas along that line, but I'd have to install 
different windows, changing to something that swung the bottom edge 
upward to a hook to hold it open. And they are only a foot tall as is.

Next time I'm at lowes, I'll see what sort of replacements for these 
single sheet of glass antiques I can find. I've never been impressed but 
thats what the place was built with in 1974, by a developer that thought 
filling in a gully with 20 feet of yellow clay made it prime real 
estate. And believe me, he didn't waste a single nail, what I've opened 
up looks like a hercules black powder house. Not more than one nail per 
board so if the machine grinding the black powder blows up, they just go 
collect the boards and built it again.

So in terms of geological time, this house is floating in a sea of yellow 
clay, slowly rising (or the clay is drifting down the hill, the 
window "tubs" that were holding the window free of the "soil" on the 
downhill end have been removed about a decade back and the window sills 
are now about 5 to 7" above grade) and I can't find a single doorframe 
that is not now leaning to the west about 7/16" at the top of the frame.  
Tear it out and build a new doorframe is the only way to fix it. I'm 
making deadbolt clearance at the bottom of the $600 new in 1987, now 
30yo steel doors lockplates for the 3rd time since 1989 with a dremel.  
I'd sue the jerk but he died 15 years back up the log. I could sue his 
son but they've got more money for lawyers (and judges) than I do. He 
was so secretive about it, the only way the city can find a water or 
sewer line is by using a Backhoe for a witching stick.

Thanks Chris.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
