Storytime With Dave
By Dave Gramann
I am going to tell you a story that you are most likely familiar with, however, unless you have already read this article, you have never heard some of the juiciest details…
O
nce upon a time, in a kingdom not very far away, there lived
a princess locked away in the was the fairest in all the land with beautiful, golden blond hair reaching all the way to the ground when let out of Prince Charming to one day come and rescue her from her prison in the tower.
Rapunzel…well, sort of.
After many years pining for her rescue, one morning one of the tower’s many large single pane aluminum windows and prepared to throw it open and unfurl her locks. As she approached the window, however she saw something that froze her in her tracks. saw what she assumed to be mold growing at the sill
of the window (although Rapunzel was for purposes of this story, we will call it “organic growth”).
be no happier ever after if Prince Charming were to climb her locks only to be greeted by deterioration and organic growth…this simply wouldn’t do. Just then she recalled hearing that
Cinderella, in a nearby kingdom, had recently had all her original aluminum castle windows replaced with new vinyl windows (after all, everything worked out for Cinderella in the end). Rapunzel set to work getting three bids for replacement windows.
Unfortunately, Rapunzel did not go with the same contractor Cinderella had used, opting instead for pressure rating of 40psf (pounds per square foot),
Rapunzel’s contractor removed siding at the window
