I'm surprised glass can support the weight of those things.

Window shakers sit on the sill and that carries most of the weight,
The window frame keeps it from falling out. The new ones are really
pretty light and they don't actually "shake" much. Some of those old
ones took two people to pick up and they rattled the pictures on the
wall when the compressor shut down.

I'm surprised they could rattle pictures without shattering the glass they were touching.

The glass was typically in a wooden frame and pretty well insulated
from the vibration.


And the pictures on a seperate wall weren't?


You must have some pretty fragile glass there if vibrating the frame
shatters it.


My point is to move a picture you must be shaking the entire wall. That's a lot of shaking.
