Well, you've hit the nail on the head. Just to let everyone know, the
builder is J. R. Homes (John Richards Homes, etc.) out of the Detroit area.
It is really amazing to me how eager some people are to screw
well-intentioned folks like us. Suppose I should have learned that lesson
better in my years. And I should have purchased a book on house building
pitfalls. Better savvy next time!

there's
an attached pair of casements, and one opens and the other is fixed, you
have a
cheap-o prick of a builder.
