I broke the window in my friend’s place (hilarious story, not relevant here, totally) and it was about $20 at the hardware store for the glass, glass cutter, and caulking. Between the two of us it took about 15 minutes to cut the appropriate size of glass and get the caulk looking semi-professional. We aren’t talking a complete replacement of the window frame, paneling, cutouts, etc. We also aren’t talking anything custom or fancy. If you can point to a double-paned glass window or some extremely fancy one that exists in an apartment complex (in Houston, of all places, too, so you know multi-housing developments are cheap as fuck), you are going to have a butler ready to open the door for you and won’t need a key in the first place.
dude, windows are expensive, where are people buying cheap windows??
