I shall be bring a bathtub through a second story window shortly.

:D

Long story short, new tub too big for small doorways and tight stairwell. Complicated system of pulleys envisioned.

But, to an actual question: the fixed panes on the aluminum windows are screwed from the top, so to get the center post thingy out I have to cut the screws. Can anyone see any problem with me re-attaching the center dealies with screws going the other way? It looks like it'll work, but I've never mucked about with windows before.

1. just make sure the screws into the mullion don't interfere with the working of the window

Of course this is somewhat of a guess not knowing what brand or type of window.

2. How did it work out?

3. I shall be throw a bathtub through a second story window shortly.

Does that answer your question?

4. LOL

:D

Turns out I was able to hook the thing vertically around the biggest exterior door to get it inside, then just (!) cut a hole in the wall to hoist the tub into the appropriate room.

Very clever, I think, since I'm good at drywall and need to do some anyhow. Plus I could find no other way in, as the cheapo windows here would never have survived the ordeal.
