We just got what I thought was going to be a fairly standard special order door for our guest house remodel: 2.5 months! Granted, I live a news-free life, so I wasn’t aware there was a construction boom (other than what I heard second hand about wood shortages)Sorry to hear about your delay, but not surprised. Marvin's are nice windows.
We're having Don Young Company in Dallas make ours; they're supposed to be super energy efficient and reasonable cost. Replacement Windows & Patio Doors Vinyl & Aluminum - https://www.dycwindows.com/default.aspx
I meant to say in my post above, that they are running at least 90 days behind schedule from both Covid and the building boom all over north Texas. Not quite a sbad as yours, but we'll see - it's going to be winter anyway before they can be in. Winters are pretty mild here so no big deal on that account, just time.

Good luck with your windows. View attachment 2753933
This has been the story of SoCal for as long as my wife and I can remember.Thanks Mark.
We don't watch or read news either, and our lives have been much more stress-free since we stopped.
In our small rural county, the housing boom is unfortunately obvious just from driving around. We are 25-30 miles away from a "big" city (Fort Worth, TX) and it's difficult for me to comprehend how many people are willing to live this far out and commute for work every day, but the appetite for houses out here seems to be insatiable. Sadly, it is changing the county and life out here, and not for the better - increased traffic and city people bringing their expectations of city life with them. We're fortunate to have the land that we do, that at least insulates us somewhat from nearby neighbors.
Lived in and around Plano for almost 20 years before escaping to Big Sky country a few years ago. Watched Frisco grow from 35k to 210k in less than 20 years. The growth is insane and I don't miss it.Thanks Mark.

Work out, winch gets used, grills that will survive the apocalypse, memories to be made. A big upside. Might wanna a burger down by the river one of these days! Glad to see it moving along. Hope da fam is great!
