I am putting on an addition. I am putting new windows in all of my old house as well. I am putting in Anderson 400 series. In old house, I have several large picture windows. The plan calls to replace it with a smaller picture window in center flanked by two small casement windows on ends. This would allow us to open the casement windows to let air in. When speaking to my parents, I was told not to get casement and instead get double-hung. I was getting double-hung elsewhere in the house, but I think the casements were put here because the look would be better with the internal grids in this situation. A double hung has the thick sash in center where the casement would just have uniform grids. Given that there is not going to be grid in the center picture window, the thought was that the casements would look better. My parents said that the casements always have troube with the cranks and often don't open. Thoughts on casements? I don't even know if Anderson makes double hung in the width I would need but I will check. Thanks

I want to replace our front door. I will need to replace the trim and jam? Does the new door come with the jam and trim pieces to replace the old? Wondering how much carpentry skills will be required.
