Default sash windows

Hi stuart noble

A real state, but I'm totally skint and there's no way I could afford a
joiner/glazier to come and sort it out. The other problem is that they are
about 20ft up, and I'm not confident on ladders! A tower may be better,
but the ground beneath is stepped.

The beauty of sliding sashes is that you can do everything from the inside.
Just take the sashes out, reverse them, and work on them at your leisure.
You can hold them in position with a few nails and fix them at the most
convenient height. Lots of hoovering in the bedroom but a whole lot better
than being up a tower.


But now I'm looking for the holy grail of DIY. A quick, easy solution to
30yrs of gloss paint.

And my next question.... how to convince SWMBO that I am capable of fixing
the windows ;-))
My most complex project to date is a tie between hanging a new door in a
squint frame, and laying sheet vinyl in a single piece in a roughly Z
shaped bathroom.
