Our guys knocked out a 4-window job yesterday. But all four were huge!
Some windows are easy to remove. These, on the other hand, were much more difficult. With these old aluminum windows, we had to renove the glass, and then pry the frames out. The glass was glued in with an adhesive that could have mended the San Adreas Fault.
Here, Orey uses a torch to soften the glue so the glass unit will let go of the frame. This keeps breakage to a minimum, plus Orey satisfies his pyromania yearnings.
Then Chuck prepares the opening for the new window. In this case, the wood returns needed to be trimmed back to accomodate a 3 1/4 inch window.
A finished project, all done but the clean up.
