I kept as much glass as I could. I left the old glass in the basement in case the new owners had a problem. Two years later I was going past the house and noticed that one bedroom window had been replaced! I sighed and thought all my hard work was going to be undone.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
