Thinking about replacing the kitchen window and perhaps
a couple of screen doors. How picky should I be about my
choice of wood for the framing (given that it will be
painted)?

resp:77 I think you've decided "very picky" if it has taken six months to
choose. ;)

Re. #80: We're still using the doors and windows that
came with the house. I suppose the wood we use for the
framing, door jams etc. might matter less once it's painted.
I just wondered whether certain species were less prone to
water damage over time.

Re. #82: I'm not sure but I wish her well, wherever that is.
Still plodding along with the windows we got when we
moved in. I've called a couple of window companies and left
messages but they don't seem to want the business.

We're ready for new screen doors and one or two exterior
doors. I'm leaning towards wood even though that's more
expensive than steel. Even though I think I know what's
involved in fitting a pre-hung door, I'll probably pay to
have them professionally installed.

I did a metal solid fitted left in door. Wood would have been nice
but the flux in atmosphere makes them so fickle.
