My wife was attempting to clean the glass inside the hinged panel of one of our Pella Designer series casement windows. Apparently she somehow released the string that prevents the window from opening far enough to come off of whatever holds it in place. Now the bottom of the hinged panel is free to move outward but the top is still attached. How can I put this window back like it should be? Thanks so much for any help.

The hinged panel simply gets opened fully then pushed back into the corner where it hinges, and then you close it while keeping pressure back on the hinged side.
I got it to engage and was able to close it latch the hinged panel in place, However, there is still something not correct. the bottom of the hinged panel (at the hinge site) is no longer tight against the seal like the top is. I am attaching a couple of pictures. I appreciate your responses, XSleeper.
Could be bent for all I know but I doubt it. You definitely have the weatherstripping caught in there which should not be in there. (A couple inches is bulging out in the middle of the line on your arrow)
Try opening it back up and work the weatherstripping back tight like the rest of it is above and below. Then try to push the sash back into the hinge and close it.
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to remove the cover over the transformer that I’m trying to replace. It looks easy but I can’t figure it out!

This is now sounding like a really dumb question, but I have the door above, and I am installing it. Doesn't really have any instructions, which is fine, but the more I stare at it, the more I wonder...which way is the right way to install the screen door?
On one hand, if the screen is on the inside of the house, then animals would push against it and the door (like you would put wire on cattle fence). But on the other hand, the trim on the door covers the screen on the edges and is really pretty so it makes sense that maybe the screen goes on the outside.
My other old screen door has the screen on the OUTSIDE of the screen door.
