The ice was here to stay… so work on the bedroom windows was fraught with slippery hazards.
.
.
After the two small windows were installed our contractor needed another set of hands to help him with the big picture window…. so out went my husband.
.
.
The jerry rigged planking platform was less than ideal.
.
.
And the supports were definitely not OSHA approved.
.
.
Mind you, that’s all ice covered snow.
.
.
*Gulp*
.
.
They did it, so naturally I had to document the event.
.
.
That thing was heavy, and awkward to maneuver.
.
.
I was cringing the whole time… expecting a slip and a crash.
.
.
But it exited without mishap.
.
.
And a giant air conditioned hole was left.
The crazy part of the removal? When they took it out we found this on the sill.
.
.
A handful of screws.
.
.
The old window was sitting right on them. How crazy is that!
.
.
Winter a/c.
You gotta love it.

River's world..... 
That is crazy.
Glad the old window was removed without a problem. I would have been gritting my teeth watching the removal of it.
I would be same when the new one would be put in too. I imagine you will too. I hope that part is easy.

It makes me wonder what those screws belonged to and if the previous owner knew about them…lol. So glad your hubs and Mr. Fix-It didn’t hurt themselves, what a relief!

With every project we’re discovering that the contractor who built the addition to our house was a good deal less than qualified…

I helped my girlfriend remove carpeting once in a condo apartment. We know what the installers had for lunch years ago because we found chicken wing bones. Drumsticks.

Why did it need replacing again? Though, those screws may provide the answer to a lot of the reno-dramas you’ve been having. It’s lovely. Is it wrong to say I hope you’re keeping the old window?

All the window seals were damaged and trapped moisture in between the glass. They were cloudy, leaked cold air and one leaked water which rotted the sill.
And no, our farm neighbor wanted the big window so we gave it to him.

Brrrrr!!!! Reminds me of when they did our Supercenter expansion many years ago and had one whole corner of the building torn out…… in January. At least they didn’t find any loose screws, just a bunch of Native American artifacts that halted work for a year.

Don’t know. We can’t even get communication on actual work things on the night shift, let alone what the construction crews find (or the archaeologists that took over for the next year). We had always joked that that the store was built on an old Indian burial ground, and lo and behold…
