Got all but the picture window finished today...not a fun way to spend the Sunday afternoon/evening. But learned a lot and took some pictures--don't hold you breath for them, 'cause I'm not very good at posting them--will try in about a week to get them up.

Thanks to Keith for the hint on the crank windows, that really simplified that part of the changeout. Keith, couldn't wait for you to get here as my time is short due to business and upcoming trip. Had to go ahead today. Most of the windows want to sit too low in the frame due to the old shims, and I made some out of 1/4" square stock wood--may still have to go back and redo couple of them if a leak develops. Thanks for the offer, very generous of you.

All-in-all, not really too bad a job. Kind of tedious getting the old caulk out/new caulk in. But the windows look great. Big difference in the construction of the old vs new ones--no metal strip around the inside of the panes.
