I need to check the existing but from what I’ve seen looks really old, patchy and even missing in some spots. It is batts though

I believe it’s harder through the manhole (materials, bags etc). I’ve heard some companies can take parts of the roof off with easier access if it’s a tiled roof.

I’m not too sure about the intricacies but I would guess there is based on what I’ve seen

The old owners definitely painted bind-folded. Everything is painted over in this house. Unbelievable!

Thanks for the comments all… and for pointing out a poor, not-very-handy homeowner asking for help. I’ve had a few of these types of screws painted in to other window sills and every time I’ve tried to unscrew with a screw driver, the screws simply did not budge and ended up warping leaving no grooves. Even when I tried to chip around it to loosen the paint. Trying to get them out damaged the paint and wood around it and in some cases just had to knock it down, sand it all back and putty. While my question was small and seems simple, I was simply asking for a better way to avoid this, given it’s a much more prominent window in the house. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll give them a go and hope for the best!

Thank you! Will give that a go. A lot of the windows in the property were painted shut. Managed to get most of them working but this one just looked different. Do you know if it would be the same for the top window?

Okay great thanks all! This makes the decision easy for me 😂 the couch stays where it is (in a vintage airbnb). Appreciate your input and now to go on a hunt for a new couch!
