Grrrr. Neglected side hung windows, with seized friction hinges, screws rusted to death by the sea air, shit access and the prospect of messing up a freshly decorated room. Only one screw actually unscrewed, the rest were drilled off and ground flush.
Then the first test close with the new hinges, it was binding. My new supply of screws have a slightly taller head, which only became apparent when the weight of the sash was compressing the lower stay. With no access to replace the two offending screws in situ, the sash needed bringing inside again.
2h 15min which was 30minutes longer than my previous nightmare.
