Ok, everyone has their love/hate with Pellas. I thought it might be a nice thing to have a thread dedicated to the do's and don'ts when it comes to Pellas.
When you look at the manual, everything seems nice and easy: either pull the tabs and remove the window or slide the little dohickey's and unlatch the window so it swings inwards.
I've done a few of these, mainly the big ones that have 3 or 4 dohickey's to slide and then reslide because it didn't release, but for the most part it's pretty simple and easy. I just treat it like grandmas fine china because you never know if the hinge is in good condition or if the rope that holds it from swinging all the way out is in good condition or whatever.
I just bid a house that has grills and blinds - apparently I didn't bid it high enough because he scheduled for next week. But the grills (in theory, according to the manual) are just snap in/out: gently pull out starting at the bottom then line up with hash marks and gently push back in starting at the top. The blinds have a little loop that you gently pull out and then lift the opposite side off the pin and should be easy... right?
For those of you who do a lot of these, please post your lessons learned or if you love cleaning them, post that too. Or if you just shake your head and walk, post that too.
I guess my only tips are:
1. After you clean the inside, leave the window open for a little while so that it doesn't fog up on you when you close it.
2. You can use a can opener to gently put pressure on the window while you're trying to use the dohickey to unlatch the window, but not too much pressure...
