Are you sure about that lip on the windows, Larry? I'm at work right now
and can't check, but I seem to recall that the only window that had that
annoying protruding bottom lip that interfered with bricks in front was the
1x6x3. I thought the 1x4x2, 1x3x2, 1x2x2, 1x1x2, 1x1x1 didn't have the
extended lip, even on the old ones. I'll check my windows tonight.
