Another wet day but at least it’s not snowing (or sleeting). Yesterday was all about windows. There are a couple of window jobs every year and this year is no different. It’s all about the fuzzy track. When that fails the windows need to come out. As I have mentioned before this is no easy task and most likely not a do-it-yourself project (unless you are REAL handy). It is also primarily a two man job when dealing with bedding large areas.

After installing new tracks the windows will seem stiff for a while but the fuzzy track will eventually find it’s sweet spot. As you can see, there is no chance that these windows will leak! That’s all the photos I had this morning. I long for the time I can start making my rounds again and cover more work in my daily postings.
