Sliding Glass DOH!

Nate and I are in the process of renovating our condo to get it ready for sale sometime in the next 3-12ish months and we've been doing pretty well. This weekend we began deconstructing the sliding glass door between the living room and the enclosed balcony. We popped the sliding piece out in no time at all and I think we both thought we were something pretty darn special.

So we moved on to the stationary part of the door. Hmmm, interesting. Well maybe we could try.....no. What if we.... no, nevermind. I know! we need to separate it from the wall since it is pretty well attached with putty. Once we do that it should pop right out! So we proceeded to pry the putty away and drumroll......... it won't budge. We tried pushing it, realllllllly hard... no dice. What is the point of this narrative, you ask? Well, it shows you how sometimes I get pumped up to do something and maybe don't think through whether I really have any idea how to do it and it also serves as a not-yet desperate plea..... If you, or anyone you know, has extensive sliding glass removal experience, please contact us. We'll pay you.... in cookies :)

Well, eventually yes.. but we have no idea when and it will likely not be til the end of the summer at least. It'll be hard to give up the convinience of living in town, but I am super excited about the prospect of a house, and a big kitchen, and cabinet space :)
