Hey, can anybody tell me how to change-out double-“glazed” sunroom plexiglass window panels (curved) where they are mounted in aluminum channels and sealed with rubber strips? I’m guessing that all the channel/frames need to be removed from one end to the other to give access to each panel. This is a mid-70’s install, originally. This repair job could be a matter of a trick that I don’t know or a major remove-and -replace. I’d appreciate any insight. Thanks.

"The old Quaker Meeting house is almost 300 years old and as my sawzall made its way into the pegged ancient wood, a smell emerged that told me about dried, cracked things. The ancient Quakers sitting in the well worn pocket of their silence on the darkened pine benches were whispering something to me across the years. Something about why I was here, why we're here. Lord but it was hot. I reached in to clear anything out of what was the sill, nothing but the hardened mud, lime and sand mortar, dust and shadows." -- Jer

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
Forget the primal scream, just ROAR!!!
