DIY Windows





We are installing vinyl windows in two of our bedrooms ourselves. This is A LOT cheaper than having a window company do it. It is the retro type window where it is installed through the old frame of the old window making it much easier by not disturbing the stucco. However we had a small problem with the size of the new window being too large to fit through the old frame. Apparently I messed up on the measuring and I had to grind off some of the old frame about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Anyway the result turned out beautiful and we now have efficient easy sliding windows.
