Hi everyone. I am replacing wooden windows on my house. I want to install vinyl windows, not replacement windows, but the whole thing, right down to the rough opening. I apologize if the next part seems like a dumb question, but here goes. I have been to HD and Lowe's, and all there windows do not come with the brick molding and window sill already installed around the window. The only ones I could find are with the nailing flange. Are vinyl windows with the brick molding and window sill already attached still made, and if they are are they a special order? I want to basically take everything out of the rough opening for my windows, and just pop in a vinyl window with the molding and sill already attached. Thanks for any help and information.

I bought a house recently. Nice place except it was clearly fixed up a bit before sale and the workmanship wasn't so high quality. Things look fine but don't work quite so well. One of the problems it the sliding door in the master bedroom. The ceiling track was screwed into the plaster with some thin wood screws through the ?drywall?. The track obviously, doesn't support any of the weight of the door so the doors don't slide well. I've removed the doors and the track and found the studs in the ceiling. I've bought some 25lb drywall screws that I was going to use to secure the track with. The track is over 11' long and it's got 12 holes in it. None of which line up w/ the studs except for 2 which appear to have been punched through the metal track after installation with a nail. I've never installed a door before so before I do something I'll regret (or takes even longer to fix) I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. a) Can I install the sliding door ceiling track just by using the drywall screws? Will I need to worry about the weight of the doors? (there are 3 doors -- each about 4-5' across). I can't guesstimate the weight. I just don't have that talent. They seem heavy to me... b) Do I need to sand or fix the 2 holes that were punched through the track? They look like small volcanoes that point into the ceiling from the track. I doubt I can get the track flush with the ceiling because of them. c) Should I buy a metal drill and drill holes in the track where the studs are and use wood screws to secure the track in place? The ceiling studs appear to be every 2'. d) There's ?stucco? (the bubbly textured stuff you find on some ceilings) between the track and the ceiling (probably left over from the original ceiling texture). Is it better if I remove it? I'd like to just use the drywall screws (because it's less work) but I worry they won't support the weight of the doors and will sag over time. They're not mirrored/glass doors. Just partical boardy wood doors. They're also kinda ugly... so, we may be replacing them soon. In which case, should I just wait? Or do all sliding doors pretty much use the same type of track? Thanks a lot... Ray p.s. Oh, and if anyone can point me to some good reading on the net about sliding closet doors that isn't a place trying to sell me something or talking about patio sliding doors that'd be great. Most of the stuff I've found is very generic and lacking in detail. Some things are just hard to search for on the internet.
