I don't know weather the walls go below the frost-line. I do know the house has a basement, so

any way to t...Posted in thread: Basement Window Inset in Concrete on 09-27-2009 at 03:22 PM
Thanks for the advice glennjanie. I actually ended up solving the problem a differeny way.
Rather than replacing the window, I removed the dryer vent on the left, chipped out the glass
and took it to ...Posted in thread: Garage Floor Buckling on 09-27-2009 at 03:19 PM
