I always thought my Andersen casement window, I have 5 installed in a bow window in front of my house, would not
leak in heavy rain. Not true, recently in a heavy rainstorm, which caused a gutter run over above the window. The wind
was blowing the falling water directly against the window near the window top. The middle 3 openable window although
closed and securely locked all leaked water from the top and water leaked inside the window and had to be wiped up
with towels. We had to leave towels at the widow bases during the night. Ii have washed those windows using a garden
hose several times before, with no leakage! I am mystified as to how they leaked this time. The bow window was purchased in 1979,
so this window is about 35 years old!

CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE OF MY WIDOW TO PREVENT LEAKAGE.
The leakage occurred during a thunderstorm yesterday June 13, 2014.

the center of Long Branch (Long Branch Ave and Cooper Ave?).

Hey trader_4 - you're a google-giggler like Mr. Gualtieri is. Why don't
you help him with his windoze. He's a 16 mile drive from you.

Hey Guy - I can see you in the google street-view image of your house!

You're standing in your driveway, wearing a red baseball hat blue jacket

Looks like you're watching your lawn sprinkler water your lawn. It
needs it - very brown.

How do you know the OP posted his own address? Maybe he has an enemy at
that address and he wanted to publicize it. Even a GoogleGrouper wouldn't
be so stupid as to post their own address, would he?

I'd say the window leaked for probably two reasons:

1 - a gutter run over above the window. The wind
was blowing the falling water directly against the window near the window top.

2 - the window is 35 years old.

Windows that open like that are designed to be as tight as possible,
but I wouldn't expect that every one is going to be able to stand up
to a continuous torrent of water from a gutter pouring across it,
with strong wind blowing against it too. And at 35 years, the windows
are at the end of their service life, so to expect them to perform like
a new window is unreasonable. It's also possibly an install issue too,
and not the window itself.

.... additionally, the top of the window may not have been flashed
properly of the top was not sealed with caulk.

2 - the window is 35 years old.

OP can try to recreate the leak with garden hose. If it is the window
or the flashing, it should be easy to find and fix.

We'll be right over. You do intend to pay all expenses including travel?
Will a limo be provided? I like seafood so I think Oceanport should have
some fine lobster places. We'll just add it to the tab, what the heck. I
would say authorize a CC payment of $5k should do it for me. What you say
Oren? In on this road-trip? I guess you will have to fly in so he'll need at
least 8k. Anyone else signing up? Canucks & whiners need not apply.

If you want a free guess than I would say the flashing is bleeped. You get
what you pay for. Additional note fix the freaking gutters. Did it make it
through Sandy ok?

tools in case the airlines sends them to Tallahassee or Albuquerque.

Well, he hasn't been forthcoming with the jing so I'll send my buddy Vito to
deal with it. He'll be thrashing for the flashing.

Nick the Blade, from Philly may be out of the joint by now. Yes, I
knew him in the Pen. He was a runner for Nicodemo Scarfo...

Both of them were close to the crooks from the French Connection. Same

The Nike the Blade I mention is not related to Scrafo. He got some
time too. I can almost see his face and can't even think of his name
and number.

No, Greg said to Dana "That's like saying I won't come on your face" when
they were having a discussion on the Dems lies. Juan Williams was on and in
the background you could hear his disbelief...

IIRC it was last Wednesday about 30 minutes into the program. I had to
rewind it a few times to make certain I heard what I thought I heard.
