window removal

I have been reading for 1 hour, but cannot find needed advice on window removal. Helping Dad with Jeanne damaged condo window, 3'by4' in block. Only found 4 screws, which I removed. Pounded from inside (all drywall gone - also thanks to Jeanne), but window did not budge. I am now assuming I need to chip away at stucco on the outside. Can anyone confirm and offer additional advice?

Thanks.

condensation

J

jayna on Dec 19, 2004

I had some new windows installed a few months ago. Since the weather has gotten cold, I've been getting condensation (about 2 inches) across he upper and lower sashes. My window guy says the humidity level in my house is too high. However, my new bathroom windows do not seem to have the problem, and I have no ventilation in my bathroom. Another contractor told me it sounds like I don't have low-e, but I was supposed to get low-e and agron on all the windows. Everyone I've asked with newer windows does not have a condensation problem. So I'm not sure if I should pursue the problem with my window guy or just accept this problem as normal with new windows. Thanks, Jayna

Cracks in Windows

Y

Yakman on Dec 16, 2004

I moved into a new house in July and most of the windows in the house are developing cracks between the plastic window sash and the wood frame (painted white). There is considerabe heat loss through the cracks. I am trying to determine if these are defects in the window construction or normal settling of the windows. The wood frame came already installed with the window so all shrinking should have already occured rpior to installation. You can see a picture of the crack at [url]http://home.cogeco.ca/~iota/insidecrack.jpg[/url] Has anyone ever experienced this?
