Great suggestion. I’ve done this with other odd tools with mostly good results. Thanks!

I definitely can erect it, I’m not sure I could fabricate it. I agree though that it seems scaffold is the way to go. Unfortunately I have 5 windows which are above a bay window below, which is steeply raked. I’m not sure I know how I’ll do those quite yet (standing on the rake doesn’t seem realistic for several hours). Thanks!

Very clever!! Unfortunately the sashes are not removable. They’re Fenestra Steel Casements, and are permanently fixed. The frames themselves also require grinding, rust abatement, and replacement of many lites in the fixed portion.

This is a great suggestion, but the real issue is that due to dry times and quantity of windows- and doing this on weekends, it’s going to probably take 2 summers on and off to get to the remaining 30 windows on level 2. It needs to be something I “own”.
