How do I fix a problem with my bathroom window?

Asked by hetar_institute (21) December 14th, 2006

any home improvement junkies out there? we have a bathroom window that is made up of horizontally mounted glass "slats" that rotate up and down with a handle mounted on the right-hand side. i have two problems: 1) there is a metal bracket in which each piece of glass is mounted on both sides. I can i simply solder in a new one? do i need to weld? 2) where can i buy a piece of replacement glass? do hardware stores cut pieces of window glass? or 3) is it cheaper/easier to have the ENTIRE unit replaced? aaaaaaah!
