The windows are opening

Posted by Tabitha on August 17, 2003, at 0:53:06

I'm restoring my old weighted double-hung windows. Got the first top sash to come down today. Triumph is mine! Little did I know, there's an extra set of weights for the top sash. They're so adorable. Divided panes, too.

All the bottoms go up, but the tops have been painted shut about 3 times. I'm lucky, most of my sash cords are intact. I've got -ulp- eleven of them to work on.

Sad thing is, some future owner will probably put in those g*dawful vinyl replacement windows with the fake glued-on dividers. Those ugly things are the scourge of my 1940s neighborhood. One of my favorite houses recently fell prey to them. Idiot new owners! Grrr. I love old windows.

I guess I'd better just get maximum enjoyment out of them as long as I live here.

Oh.. my! A miracle just happened. I have my curtains open, the better to enjoy all my windows.. and there's suddenly a huge moon framed by the top window! No kidding. Clearly the gods of home improvement are smiling on me.
