Cutting your own glass windows

[Nat C.]

I've got a lot of windows that need replacing as they are broken or missing. This month there are 3 and next month probably another 5.

Is it going to be more economical to go and buy the glass cutting equipment, which isn't actually too expensive and buy sheets of glass or perspex which I cut to size myself?

Marc, thanks for your reply. I'm so sorry I didn't clarify that I had no intention of fitting the windows myself and that I have a handyman who will be doing that job. He said he can't cut the glass himself so he needs me or him to get it cut at a glass shop.

If it's going to be hundreds of dollars to get some glass pieces cut then I want to endeavor to do it myself. Its not only for the one off occasion, its about having an additional skill which will save thousands over the course of time.
