Installing windows in scorching summer heat is no joke
Discussion options
Last summer we decided to finally replace our old windows, thinking it'd be a quick weekend project - boy, were we wrong. The heatwave hit right when we started, and the caulk was drying faster than we could smooth it out. Plus, handling hot glass panes in 95-degree weather... not exactly fun. Has anyone else tackled window installations during a heatwave? Curious if it was just us being unlucky or if this is a common struggle, haha.

Replacing windows during a heatwave is definitely rough, but honestly, any outdoor project in extreme weather can turn into a nightmare. I've seen folks struggle just as much with siding or roofing when temps spike. Caulk drying too fast is pretty common - sometimes you have to switch to a slower-drying formula or work in smaller sections. Did you guys end up finding any tricks to manage the heat, or was it just a "power through it" situation?
