As
he goes about his work of installing replacement windows in an old house, Paul
Piccone, an installer with  Matus
Windows of Glenside, PA describes the process.

After
carefully prying apart the wooden trim holding in the old window, he chisels
away the blind stops on the window opening. Then he test runs or dry fits the
new window to see if it’s necessary to further chisel the rabbet (a recessed
cut that matches with a “tongue”) for the screen rail to go in.

Meanwhile,
on a machine outside, partner Jim Caroll forms bends in a sheet of flat metal
into the shape of the sill which will be attached to the exterior. 

The
men then put the frame and window in and finish up by capping and sealing it
all.

Piccone
likes what he does, getting to see inside different homes, some very grand, but
especially enjoys working with his crewmates.
