Our power went out yesterday for a few hours. To my surprise, I had a hard time opening several of our windows. I had forgotten to do one of my spring maintenance items, lubricate our vinyl replacement windows. It is pretty simple and only takes a few minutes. Just spray some pledge on the window tracks and open and close the window a few times. Once the wax works its way into the sliders your windows will open in a breeze. For really hard to open windows, just let gravity do the work for you. Spray a good amount at the top of the movable pane and in a few hours try to open the window. I have had to repeat this step on a few windows.
