I realize now why the window was 90% off. It's a magnificent window, but apparently it was removed, probably from a new house, by cutting off the mounting flanges.
Crafted some new flanges - aluminum sheet (for the curves) or extruded angle (for the straight sections).
Lined up 3 big guys to help at lunch - average 6'3", 290 pounds. Me being the shrimp (6'1", 180), I'll be the supervisor. Needed the big dudes since we need to hoist this 150+ pound window into place, and the sill is 7 feet above the ground.
Unfortunately big rains are forecast all day tomorrow. Weekend should be nice, then rains again Monday and Tuesday. I'll have to recruit a different, non-work, crowd if I do it this weekend.
It's the last of six windows in the shed. :-)
Note the Makita and DeWalt cordless drivers - I had to include them in the picture since I was recently ridiculed by a manly woodworker for having a wimpy Skil driver.
