25 years old with single pane windows that badly need to be re-glazed - it was time to do something. A few phone calls to window companies had been a bit discouraging. $19,000 for 13 replacement windows sounded like a little bit too much.
We stopped by Home Depot and talked to the window expert and he told us how to measure for a replacement window. We went back to the house, took off the molding, wrote down our numbers and went back to the store. A hour later we returned to the house with two new replacement windows, a roll of insulation, some caulking and finishing nails. All for about $350...
Here's the whole process in photos - About 5 hours, start to finish!

Hugs!

you're very brave. I need new windows for my 1945-built home. Afraid to take the windows out and find paper, not insulation, between the interior and exterior walls! Wish my brother lived in town - he's a wizard at repairing old homes!
Is there anything you CAN'T do?!
I'm very impressed! I do well just to windex mine once a year!

P.S. When are you getting the clay back out?
I wish everyone had a daughter like mine.

Nothing like DIY -- the window looks great!
