How To Fix A Double Pane Window Here

Last Tuesday, I was trying to kill a wasp with a rolled-up magazine. The wasp dodged. The window did not.

I didn’t have the heart to tell my wife it was my fault.

So that weekend, I became a man on a mission: How to fix a double pane window without admitting defeat—or paying a $500 service call.

I ordered a replacement IGU from a local glass shop—$120, custom-cut. When it arrived, I removed the old unit, cleaned the frame, and slid the new one in. Snapped the beads back. Perfect. No fog. No crack.
