Last summer, I thought I could handle replacing a couple of ancient windows in my 1950s ranch. Turns out, balancing a heavy window sash on a wobbly ladder is… not ideal. Nearly dropped one right into the flower bed. I also underestimated how sharp those edges can be (still have the scar). Anyone else ever bite off more than they could chew with window installs? Any safety hacks you swear by?

Yeah, I’ve been there—thought it’d be a quick job, but those old sashes are heavier than they look. I use suction cup handles now, makes things way more stable, especially if you’re solo. Gloves are a must, too... those edges are no joke.
