[Alberg30] "How-to" replace windows

[Bill Blevins]

Good point.

Each window was a very different shape. I cut the glass almost exactly 
the same size as the opening using a cardboard pattern for each, then 
used the Dremmel tool to grind the edges to create about 1/8 inch space 
all the way around each window. I duct taped the glass in the holes, 
then used small pieces of cardboard to sit the glass in the space so 
that there was even area around each, then tacked 4 corners with epoxy 
overnight.
