Our house also has the roll-out, Miami-style windows. While we don't mind their appearance - they go with the 1955 design, after all - they don't offer wonderful insulation from the hot, humid, Alabama summers. I'd like to know if you plan to replace your roll-outs and, if so, with what style of window. Thanks. Tom Wyatt; Tuscaloosa, AL Hi Michael,

It’s in a chrome frame and the horizontal cabinet section at the bottom is attached. It’s all a one piece unit that simply hangs on two french cleats. Very simple to install. If anyone is interested please contact me at braun.15@gmail.com I hope someone can give this unit a good new home!

Trick for the shower tile grout, I never scrub it! I spray Clorox Clean-Up with Bleach GENEROUSLY before leaving for work and rinse 9 hours later. It will sparkle! The terrazzo base, I'm sorry to say...it had hairline cracks and was leaking just a touch. I didn't want to replace just yet, so I coated with garage floor epoxy (sand additive for traction) in white. It looks great and doesn't leak. I'm sending more photos soon. Holyoke Cindy…
