While you all are thinking....

I've got a different version of the same problem.   I just finished up a small renovation.  I restored all our old windows (with excellent storms).  But I also added a totally new bay window--two typical double-hung windows in front, and two somewhat oddly proportioned ones on the side--typical height, but narrow.  They are pretty good Anderson double-glazed wooden windows. But Anderson kept getting the order wrong--sent ones with the wrong muntins (that don't match the rest of the room), and at least one with a slightly crooked muntin that they just replaced. They just sent new sashes, not casings, and of course wouldn't take the incorrect sashes back.  The contractor, naturally, was just going to throw them in the dumpster, but I, too--foolishly, probably--"saw some inherent value in them."

Any ideas on how I get 5 or 6 completely unused sashes out of my basement?

All,

I'm looking to help a homeowner in Watertown who replaced their windows but
interestingly kept the old sashes in the basement, seeing some inherent
value in them...

Do any of you window maintenance providers have a place to bring the sash or
glass once removed? Additional ideas would be appreciated.

* NEW windows are already installed and old are in basement headed to the
curb before Thanksgiving. They are not interested in saving the original and
re-installing them once the NEW windows fail, I asked that question! And I
know most of you thought it too...

Cheers,
Garrett
