Hi All , I am a newbie to this forum, but not new to the hime imporvement arena. I am open to all with good input on how to tackle this task on hand.. [URL=http://www.redlineriders.org/windows.jpg]Click here for picture[/URL] That is a sketch of what my window situtation currently looks like, Several questions arise and causing me headaches :wall: when I THINK about how to do this... Questions that I have.... 1. After removing the sheet rock, how is the best way to remove the old frame and windows. 2. Once the OLD frame and windows are removed, where exactly does the new window go. 3. When viewing the link, does the new window fin go on the the inside (rightside) or outside (Leftside) of the the 2x4 stud? 4. Should I just hire someone to replace the windows, and go broke...? :eek: Thanks Rocky

We are thining about buying a house from the 1930's, but worried about lead paint. We know we can deal with most of it by cleaning thoroughly and putting several coats of good quality paint over the top of the existing paint. but the house has beautiful old double-hung windows that have eighteen small panes of glass arranged in 3 rows of six on each of the tops and bottoms of the windows. We would rather not replace these. For us, a large part of the charm of the house would be gone if we had to put in new windows. So the questions: is it possible to strip and refinish these windows? If we did refinish them, does anyone know roughly how much it would cost per window if we had it done professionally? Or, if we did it on our own, how much time it would take per window? Thanks, Solipsist
