How do you get windows replaced on a bow window?
Posted by Alicja on February 25th, 2010Matthew F asked:
Do you have to replace the entire casing and everything? I have talked to 5 different window companies and they want to take the glass and framing out, use the same window frame but put in regular windows that slide up and down. Currently there are two stationary windows and 2 crank out windows. I think it would look goofy if they do it that way.
How to open windows that have been painted shut?
Posted by Alicja on December 12th, 2009The storm windows were removed, the windows were painted shut and now the storm windows are back on. Therefore; not allowing me direct access to the painted window. How would you suggest I open the windows without removing the storm windows, if at all possible?
Because the storm windows are on the outside and closed, I can’t access the painted side of the window. Is there another way to open the window without having to remove the storm windows in order to get to the edges that i need to cut.
How do I fix my power windows on my 1997 Ford Explorer?
Posted by Alicja on December 3rd, 2009wrw_88 asked:
All four windows on my ‘97 explorer quit working. I’ve checked all fuses that are listed in a repair manual and they all have power going to them. I’m wondering if the window motor has gone out or if I need to replace the master switch which controls all windows. I can’t hear any noise such as a window motor running when I press the window buttons. I need to figure out what is going on because these west Texas days are a real scorcher at times.
What to use to replace insulation on casement windows?
Posted by Alicja on October 24th, 2009My casement windows date from 1975. The insulation strip around the window is hard and there is now quite a draft. I now spend $100-200 to cover all the windows with plastic during the winter. The manufacturer no longer makes this insulation strip. Any suggestions on what I can use to replace the strip that is somewhat custom moldable so the window will still open and close?
Calking around the window has already been done. This strip is the part that is actually attached to the window.

Posted by Alicja on October 8th, 2009John asked:
I am moving into an old home (100 yrs) and the windows do not remain open after being pulled up. How can I repair this? The last occupant used PVC pipes to hold the windows up.
