Engaging an apparently competent independent contractor for window replacement did not impose a non-delegable duty on the occupiers because the work was not inherently extra-hazardous nor was it work upon or projecting over a highway; 2nd defendant was not an occupier; the 4th defendant (worker) was negligent and the 3rd defendant had judgment in default, but the plaintiff's assessed damages were entirely offset by employees' compensation received, so no net award to plaintiff and actions against 1st and 2nd and against 4th were dismissed.
