Removing a vinyl window from a metal frame
Hi,
This week I start (& hopefully finish
) the demo phase of my bathroom re-build project. Everything is going, except for a ceiling fan and the window. However the frame for the window has to go - it is metal, ugly, prone to rust, etc.
I will be tearing out drywall so getting at the frame & removing that shouldn't be a big deal, however I've never removed a window (vinyl) from a frame. The window has been in place for probably 5 years or so, the caulk is hard & non pliable.
How do people usually remove such a window? I don't know if a razor knife will work or not. I'm also concerned that I might cut the vinyl so any hints would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Bob
