    yeah this has "stupid" written all over it. have to imagine MANY have even gotten 90% finished with a window replacement and then suddenly the glass breaks or even if they complete the job...the window leaks.

    Some "jobs" are easy to learn on the fly...some require a little training/help from someone who already learned. The decision one has to make is the differential cost of f-cking it up. Good luck...whatever you decide.
