I think I underbid a job. $30

I will be repairing 2 broken panes in an apt. window.

Until now I thought I was just going to replace the broken glass.

But a saw that the divider between the 2 pieces got knocked out.

It looked fairly straight.

Can that be re-positioned back in place and then add the 2 glass panes?


Dunno, can't see it. Can it? Should know in about 30 seconds of trying...

What kind of window construction...wood, metal, vinyl, ...??? What
could be done is highly dependent upon what you got to work with and
what have left versus have to manufacture or repair.

And, of course, all estimates are contingent upon correct statement of
the facts...undisclosed damage is not accounted for in any bid (at least
if have any sense at all in bidding).

Thanks.

You are right. When I saw the window, I did not see all the damage the first time.

I will go there Friday to measure the glass panes and assess what it will take to fix the window.

Then I will explain in detail what I found.

If it will take more money and effort than just replacing the 2 panes of glass,
I will tell her so.

I am retired and doing well, but recently had a lot of medical expenses.

I need some part time income for the next 2 weeks.
