How to install window screen for my single hung window?

09 Jun

Ok, I bought this roll of window screen from Home Depot but I had no idea how to fix it on my window, which is a really crappy, old-school single hung window. It has no railing whatsoever. I do not intend to get a frame and what not – I’m a college dude who’s staying here for just one year, so any sort of ghetto repair would suffice, as long as I have some window screen splashed across my window.
the picture of my window:

Problem 1: I’m on third floor, so I can go outside and nail that thing across the window….

Problem 2: That’s as much my window would open, which makes it difficult to nail/tape the screen to the window frame….

Problem3: if I stick the screen to the outward side of the window, there’d be this big gap between the screen and the window, which makes the whole thing uneffective….

what should I do???
I hate flies and weird insects, so please help !!
thanks

…help with privacy & UV light.
Not looking for decorative types (no rice paper or patterns please)— just opaque window film. Have checked out Home Depot already and brand they carry still is see thru.

Have you done this? What did you purchase and from where? Were you pleased?

Where can I get a Certainteed replacement window?

05 Jun

I have Certainteed double hung windows in my house. One side of the bottom sash got cracked and I had it repaired at a local hardware store. It’s drafty and I would like to buy another window so that I could replace the leaking sash. I can’t find the Certainteed brand at any home center. Lowes carries Pella windows and Home Depot carries American Craftsman or Energy Star windows. I don’t need to hire a contractor to get me a window that I’ll just be using to replace the bottom sash. There’s a sticker on the sash that says:
016233 Wardmar C0. 14
UNIT size: 32.500 x 60.00
Glass size: 26.438 x 00.000 x 27.125
Balance: 408S
Mfg Date: 6/13/91
Mfg: Simonton Bldg Pro
Would it be possible to buy another manufacturer’s window and replace the bottom sash with that?

Does anyone know the price of a 43 7/8″ x 27 1/4″ glass window?

03 Jun

The home improvement places, like Lowe’s and Home Depot don’t have any windows of that size, so i am wondering what a window that size would cost to make. I’d have to go to a glass company to have one specially cut.

Please let me know. thanks!

Where have you found the best value on wood window blinds?

26 May

I am a first time homebuyer and I’m looking for the “best bang for the buck.”

Need 2″ or 2.5″ slats and a decent quality. Home Depot is too pricey.. Would like to submit measurements online and have them shipped to my door.

If you have researched this, I’d love to hear your sucess story.

Thanks,

Craig

Where can we get an 8-10,000 BTU air conditioner that will fit in an 24″ wide window?

21 May

We have checked Home Depot, Lowe’s and Walmart. We can only find a 5-6,000 BTU air conditioner that will fit in the window. We need a more powerful one.

Is there any way to have a custom wood window blind repaired without spending a lot of $?

20 May

I’ve had these wood blinds that I purchased at Home Depot about 15 years and now the strings are breaking one by one so that they are useless. I called the manufacture and they wanted a lot of $ to replace the strings. I’m wondering if it’s possible to find a place that can replace the strings for under $50 so that I don’t have to buy new ones- which cost upwards of $150.

“Deflector” for window model air conditioner unit?

19 May

I have a window air conditioner in my new apartment that seems to aim straight into the wall and ceiling and not cool the room. I rigged some cardboard on the top and side to try to point the air flow more towards the room, and that seemed to work temporarily, but the cardboard/duct tape mass eventually sagged and ended up blocking the unit entirely. Home Depot recommended buying shower stall liner (light, thin plastic) and putting it up in the same way (cost $30-50). I’d rather get the plastic material itself or something more “permanent” that wouldn’t make the room seem as ridiculous. Does a specific product for this project exist? What is the viable alternative? Where do I buy it?
