Install replacement windows
#1
I'm thinking about replacing my existing windows. Two questions: 1) I've seen some suggestions that I install replacements inside the existing frames. Isn't it better to completely remove the existing windows & install in the original rough opening? Doesn't seem all that hard to get the old windows out (I have a sawzall and I'm not afraid to use it). 2) What's the correct nailing location when mounting the new windows? I tend to over-do things and I don't want to put in too many nails or nail in the wrong place--seems like you could warp the new units if you're not careful. Thanks.

Replacement windows are okay as long as your existing frames are in good shape and do not allow infiltration from the outside.
Unless you already know what you are doing, leave the Sawzall in your toolshed and go with the replacement windows. If you feel ambishness enough go to my website below and visit the "Catalog of services/DIY help" section.
