Episode Transcript
Time to talk about windows.
Got a question here at the radio show.
It's an interesting question.
I'm not even sure if I know the answer to this.
So I've asked our window expert Lyndol Woodruff to join me from Woodruff Windows.
Uh If you need new windows,
he and his family own this great company in the greater Dallas Fort Worth area.
And um,
he's,
he's my go to guy.
(00:22):
So Lyndol,
how you doing,
buddy?
Wonderful.
And I appreciate being the go to guy.
I'm,
I'm great.
How are you?
I'm living the dream.
Thank you so much.
Fantastic.
Ok.
So this is probably a really easy question.
But when it was posed to me,
I'm like,
I think I know the answer,
but I'm not 100% sure.
And so the question from one of our listeners is,
is,
(00:43):
are replacement windows installed from the inside of the house or the outside.
And that's an interesting question because I don't think a lot of people think of it,
right?
They just go into their home and they're like,
there's the window,
but it can't be installed from both sides.
What's the answer?
Actually,
both we need access outside and inside.
Uh There's things that need to be done on the inside as far as to successfully remove that entire old frame and,
(01:09):
you know,
uh delicately separate it from the old king and stuff like that.
So there's,
yeah,
it's,
it's an art on both sides.
We need to have full access to the inside.
Obviously,
we'll have access to the outside.
But so we,
we tell everyone,
you know,
let's make sure there's no furniture blocking the window,
make sure there's at least like a 3 to 4 ft pathway so we can get to the window on the inside.
(01:30):
Um My guys are,
you know,
they're real good about taping everything off and,
and doing all of that.
Um So,
and I'm sure this is gonna lead into a prepping question.
So I won't even touch on that right now.
But the answer to your question,
yes,
outside and inside access for sure.
Yeah.
And I guess it makes sense and um there are quite a few details because you've got to consider that there's,
(01:54):
you know,
casing and molding and,
but even before that on the inside,
you know,
you've got drapes and,
and,
and blinds and shutters.
So there,
there's some prep work.
Uh those items need to be removed and you need to be very careful with the woodwork around the windows,
don't you?
Yes,
absolutely.
And that is one of the top questions that we get.
(02:15):
Do I need to remove my blinds or will you guys,
will your guys do it?
Well,
if it,
it goes a lot quicker for sure if,
if you have them taken down for us already upon arrival,
my guys will put them back up for you.
It is pretty time consuming,
getting them down.
And,
you know,
we have had an instance in the past where,
you know,
(02:35):
we know for a fact we didn't damage anything,
taking them down and putting them up,
but there was some damage and,
you know,
the homeowner insisted that we,
we did it and it's like,
uh,
well,
we didn't,
but it's ok,
you know,
so to avoid that,
we,
you know,
we would much rather the homeowner deal with their blinds and stuff like that.
(02:56):
Now,
if it shutters like plantation shutters and all of that,
that that's kind of very involved to get that stuff off.
So we will gladly remove those with,
with care and,
and put them back up for you and do all of those things.
Sure.
Yeah.
So the answer is inside,
you need to make room and on the outside.
If there's anything blocking it as well,
(03:16):
you know,
like a red wagon or something,
all that stuff has to be moved out of the way.
And so that was a burning question.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate it.
Lyndol.
Absolutely.
Thank you,
sir.
Have a good day.
You too.
Thanks.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
