S Bathroom Window Sealed Shut in 110 Degree Heat.?
I have a bathroom window big sized. My brother painted around the sills or whatever you call it, and it's now sealed shut the last 3 hottest months. There is no fan or air conditioning in the bathroom, and he comes over does his #1,2 and the toilet doesn't work, so it's non flushable. This is not his room, and I have told him to unseal the window or break the glass or something for air and told him not to go to the bathroom in there.

Is he sick or crazy. I need help. Who do I call to undo the window?
Reason I ask this because the matter is collecting in the loo, and plus the heat, and I sleep in this room. Is it healthy, and what could happen?

The bathroom is connected to my room folks. And if you don't want to answer or have gone through this, don't bother wasting your time on here.

Answer 1

It is not physically unsafe, but you asked the question in the right group, as it might be psychologically troubling to have an unpleasant smell and an overflowing loo. (wow, that's the first time I ever called it a "loo"!)

If you have a utility knife and are able to, you can cut the paint right at the point where the window frame touches the window sill and side rails. Start by just scoring the paint in as straight a line as possible, then go over the same score mark again and again until the knife cuts through the paint. Once through the paint, you might need to slip a flat blade between the window and the frame to finish breaking the bond (paint often "wicks" into the joint, gluing the surfaces together).

Answer 2

in case you have a ventilation situation, do no longer use paint remover, you will choke on the fumes. Get a putty knive. or a skinny kitchen knife and slide it around the sting of the window physique, seperating the areas that are caught jointly to unfastened it up. interior the destiny, whilst a window is painted, it's going to be left open till it drys. appropriate to the rest room, by way of all means, once you're a renter, get the owner to repair the rest room. If the owner does not restoration it once you have notified him, you're able to have a plumber restoration it and deduct the fee out of your employ. examine with your state's Dept. of customer Affairs. once you are the owner, you are able to desire to restoration it to flush appropriate. it extremely is undesirable to have a broken rest room.

Answer 3

Take a "thin" blade knife and insert around the edge where the paint has dried, sealing the window shut.

Answer 4

pry the window open yourself. you dont need your brother's permission. he sounds like an idiot anyway.
