So last night I opened my window to cool down my room but I face a problem. Today, it won't close all the way. I pull it back and it just gets jammed. It's a british window. If pictures are needed, I can grab one. Any ideas? :v:
Cover it up with wooden planks.
duct tape

We need pictures to effectively evaluate your situation and determine the scale of your problem.

Pictures needed, it's hard for someone like me to imagine such a window.
It's a tiny-ass window on the top floor, if tiny spiderman wants to kill me then so be it [t]http://i.imgur.com/IYnfrta.jpg[/t]
Something is caught in it, check for errant birds.
Use bar soap on the problematic area. This will lubricate it enough to allow it to close. I totally learned that in a Mickey Mouse comic book in like 1998 and I finally get to use this knowledge. Edit: Oh, it's plastic. Well that makes it a bit more problematic.
I'm not sure where the problematic area is

Move house
[QUOTE=geogzm;40193167]I'm not sure where the problematic area is[/QUOTE] Open up and check if there's something bend in the metal, if possible. I had that once and broke the window. Fun times. If there's nothing wrong with it just close it with force.

Like pulling it shut while pulling it slightly upwards. The other just needed a bit of pulling because it was slightly rusted. If force doesn't work just see if there's anything jammed in it.

It's fixed? Good. Now re-open it.
