I shall be bring a bathtub through a second story window shortly.

Long story short, new tub too big for small doorways and tight stairwell. Complicated system of pulleys envisioned.

But, to an actual question: the fixed panes on the aluminum windows are screwed from the top, so to get the center post thingy out I have to cut the screws. Can anyone see any problem with me re-attaching the center dealies with screws going the other way? It looks like it'll work, but I've never mucked about with windows before.

Anybody here have any ideas?  Is this going to work?

Why not take the bathtub out the same way it was originally brought in?

1. just make sure the screws into the mullion don't interfere with the working of the window

Of course this is somewhat of a guess not knowing what brand or type of window.

Because in most cases, it won't go.

Yankee transplant lady asks, "How are youse guys going to get the old tub out?" Redneck southern carpenter holds up 12 lb. sledge hammer and says nothing. She asks again, "Hows that going to get it out?" He rares back and ...BOOM!...castiron tub busts into a couple hundred pieces. Redneck southern carpenter finally speaks with a slow drawl, "In...a....bucket."

It could be worse.  This guy built an entire Lamborghini replica in his basement.  Ended up calling a contractor to tear down the wall so he could get it out.
