The more we look at these old Andersen sliders, the more we are considering ripping them clean out!
We've been looking at some triple pane Pella 350 series and thinking
about getting some replacement versions of the Pella 350 sliders,
so we can junk the old Andersens. (Maybe use for solar hot air collectors)!
The problem is removing the old (four 4'x4')windows.. With their large mounting flange, holding them tightly in the wall..
Don't want to pull off the siding to get at the flanges..
IIRC, my windows have a large plastic fin or nailing flange around the edge.
(Called
New Construction windows)
So, if I can squeeze a sawzall blade in between the while molding strip and
the window, I can saw all around the window and just pull it out..
The pro tool looks like this..
I would be using the Sawzall from the outside..
Comments please..
Thanks,
Rich
