Why would you need a drill. If he just wants to replace that one pane all he needs is silicone and and a new piece of glass and a flat head screwdriver to get the stops off in one piece

What the frick do you need a drill for. Remove glaze. Pull out old glass. Replace and reglaze. If the glaze is plastic make sure you save it. Hard to replace. Measure glass and get a glass company to cut you a new one. Look like 1/4"

Glass Guru can do it. It's not hard. Is get them to order you one and just board it up till then. The whole bottom sash comes out easy. If it's a newer house you can possibly use a window warranty.

Board it up. Not worth the emergency call. The company I used to work for charged a minimum of 4 hours overtime for two guys for emergency calls. Wait until Monday.

Anyone know if Lowes sells the little black insert clip things? Mine are dry rotted and I broke one taking them off.

Edit : in this thread, I learned some people have no idea what the frick they are talking about...

Yeah, but I was in full panic mode trying to get it replaced on a Friday afternoon. Didn't think about calling him.
