    Default Window well replacement

    I finally got some input from pros on window well replacement. October before they can even LOOK at it. Anyone around Ft. Collins that can do this? I need the well replaced and some grading done to slope away from the foundation to the street, it's not that far.

    I have a similar need and having a hard time getting people to call back, when/if the do call the majority of the time they blow me off for the appointment. I'm also to the point of just digging out the current well and dealing with it myself.

    A shovel and some workers to dig is the hardest part. Drill into the concrete foundation, use sealant on the screws, then fill back around with dirt and rocks.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Me 3. Galvanic corrosion got one of the wells.
    I have been thinking about replacing the metal type with retaining wall blocks without concrete. I think it would take less digging and may not require attaching into foundation. But haven't rung out the idea completely yet.

    Am I sensing a "Bring your own shovel, coar15 get-together"?

    Would just need something provided so that way we all don't get dehydrated?


    Also, while you are adding concrete ones, you can make them into a nice DFP.
