OK, I live in a condo and the 2 windows are ~30 yr old. Im going to replace one now and one in the spring. I already have the windows ordered, my problem is getting the old window out. I have removed the drywall on the inside all around the window exposing the 2x4 below it. I see what appears as a nail fin, but I cant find no nails going into the 2x4 on bottom/left/right side. The top side I cannot see. it appears when they were installed, they were pushed up against the top. I dont see any means of them beeing attached to the wood. so Im assuming that they are nailed at the top side. How do get this window out? the outside of the building is brick. I think they just might be glued/sealed in. Also, there are storm windows on the exterior. Xsleeper, I also saw your post on the steel windows in brick house. Not sure but I might need to heed that advice. I always wanted a sawzall, now I have a reason to buy it IF I need to. these are aluminum frames.

I am interested in buying a small glass & door business. It comes with two well-trained employees - one install technician and one inside office manager. Here's the catch. I've never installed a window in my life. Am I crazy to buy this business? Would you pros out there do it again, knowing what you know now? Are the trade winds favorable in these times? Would appreciate some insight. Thx.
