Need to remove old windows?

Question

I have original windows in my house (1920's) and i have 2 windows with broken glass. I need to remove the windows to take to have new glass put in. Whats the easiest way to remove an old wood window and then put back in?

Answer 1

If it is the lower sash it is easy.Just carefully remove the stop molding on one side.You can usually get the sash out with one side.If not, remove the other side.If ropes or chains were used, just remove them from the middle of the sash.

If it is the upper sash, you have to take out the lower first.

Then remove the "Parting Strip"from the center.You can usually pull it out with plyers if you score the paint first.
