Difficulty of Replacing Windows 
My husband & I live in a 1978 Town home. The windows seals are broke - moisture between panes. It was helpful to read your other postings, but I still have a question. I come from a do-it-yourself family, he comes from a more pay to have it done family. How difficult is it to replace this window ourselves? They are sliders. We're both willing to try, but don't want to over extend ourselves. Hiring this project out will cost 2/12 times as much and I'm not sure we'll recover the cost when we sell.

Re: Difficulty of Replacing Windows 
The most difficult part of the job will be to handle the door/window because they are rather heavy. If you feel you can manage that, the removal and reinstallation is relatively simple. Note, I am talking about only replacing the windows, not the whole frame.
You should be able to buy the replacements from either a large home center or door supplier. They should be able to give you removal and installation directions for you particular door as well.
