[QUOTE="TinkerTanker, post: 4127343, member: 50228"] We ordered ours from Pella off 63rd. Tell them you're a contractor and you get better pricing. Make up a company name. It takes about 3-4 weeks for them to come in. Don't order vinyl because it warps and cracks. To remove, just drill a hole in the side corner anywhere that's easy, poke the sawzall in, and cut all around. You need a helper to catch the window sometimes so be careful there or end your cut at the top so it doesn't fall and you can bend it around to get it poked out. Don't need to remove the glass or break it leaving glass all over the place that way. Heavier, but easier for an old coot like me that can't see glass shards as well as I used to. Then for the new one you poke it in, screw it down from inside the window outward into the frame, then caulk it up. You can squirt some foam sealant around it too if the gap is bigger than 1/4 inch, but honestly because it's just an air gap caulking it with good caulk like the Dap Stretch seals it and makes a good enough create an air insulator layer that won't need foam. Then go cook yourself a steak. You deserve it after all that. By the time you finish three windows you've had three steaks. It's a win/win. [/QUOTE]
