You are a very clever individual!
Theresa Clement,
Hello- I need your help. I have double hung SIMONTON windows and saw your 6.+ min. video on replacing balances. Too difficult for me to push the springs into place. I saw you used and talked about ‘Shem spreader” which would do the trick. Cannot find one at Home Depot, or Lowes and I tried internet, no luck. Where can I buy 2 of them.
Thanks for your video.
