My English grandfather was trained as a cabinet-maker across the Pond, and began his apprenticeship in 1917 when he was 17. In later years he lived in Los Angeles, and gained a reputation for fixing sash cords and jammed windows for all of his friends and neighbors. We worked on repairing and painting some of our south-facing windowsills this weekend. The crappy 1970s metal replacement windows will have to go...next year I hope. After the first of the year I will start the search for the best period style wood windows.

Have you looked for new historic windows yet? If not, look up Brent Hull's windows. He uses quality wood and actual wavy glass which should last 100 years.

We just fully restored eight 1830 9/6 windows salvaged out of a historic property here in VA. The previous owner took out the original 1850s windows and replaced with a cheap vinyl. Lots of parts had to be replaced and restoring them with salvaged vertical grain old growth Virginia short leaf pine was so satisfying! We went with all linseed paint and glazing. Installing today! You have a great channel!

You did it so right! And what a great find. Their stupidity is your gain!

You make it look so easy and I’m sure with time, practice and patience, this would be a cinch! Beautiful end result for Miss Pearl! ❤

I would really love to see how you restore the channel, interior casing, replace the parting beads, etc. (where do you even get parting bead replacements?) I know it probably depends on the window's condition but I've watched so many tutorials on how to take the sashes out and repair/put them back in but I rarely see how to make sure the rest of the window is repaired. I've got so many windows to do and that would be a last thing that would help me have more confidence in the project! I enjoy your approach since you don't appear to belabor over your projects.

@amalias8888 Год назад

Love the tutorial on window repair. I hate that I followed the crowd and got rid of my old window weights. If I'd seen this video I never would have done that. Thanks.

@tigger6186 Год назад

This is fantastic and perfect timing. I have 2 windows that are double hung and 9 ft from the top of the glass to the bottom of the glass. We don't want to make the windows smaller because we have the original stained trim that is unpainted. So it will be difficult to match the wood and color. So we ate going to restore them

@OurRestorationNation Год назад

Yay!! You can do it!

@infinitelightcouncil Год назад

Very informative! And what a handsome carpenter! 😁

@Toodle.Pipp001 Год назад

I so needed this right now. Our 1875 sash windows need some TLC. Please can you show exactly how Kevin screwed the weight cord in? Thanks! 🧚

My ex-husband talked me into replacing most of our drafty, but beautiful, huge Victorian windows with plastic ones. Within a few weeks, they couldn’t be opened (the friction on the weatherstripping is too great for the size of the windows), the seals started breaking and the double-glazing fogging up, and parts falling off, I deeply regret that decision. The plastic frames are super-weak and flimsy. I would have lived with the drafts, it’s coastal California, I just add a sweater if necessary.

@freddyfriend5462 Год назад

What about some wood preservative before a primer?

@OurRestorationNation Год назад

Oil based primers serve the same purpose. You don’t have to put oil on it before you put oil on it

@susanharmon3550 Год назад

Perfect video. Perhaps someone can suggest a window fix for my “new” home. The top and bottom sashes of my 1880s windows don’t meet in the middle, so I can’t close the beautiful Eastlake latches. It’s getting cold in New England and the drafts are real. It’s not an ideal time of year to start popping the windows out for a few days. Any solutions that don’t involve removing the windows, even temporary, are appreciated.

@timemachine7026 Год назад

Some of my windows are missing weights, are they universal or do I need a specific weight for my window styles? Thanks!

@pamhutzell8268 Год назад

@Circely Год назад

Does the wood have to be painted? Or could you stain the wood instead? We just bought our first house and it’s from the 1920s. Previous owners tore out a lot of her plaster, and replaced a bunch of the windows with plastic ones. Fortunately we got her before they could completely gut the place. Can those windows be restored or are we just out of luck?

@OurRestorationNation Год назад

The historic windows can certainly be repaired if that’s what you’re asking. As for the replacements, you could probably find historic windows to replace them but it takes more skill.

What’s a parting bead?

@heartslessons6243 Год назад

@PhotoBear1984 Год назад

This is very helpful step by step, but what do you do with the window opening while you’re working on the restoration? We’re living here and can’t just have it left open to the elements and other things. How do you make the window restoration process practical for people who are not in the middle of restoring the whole home?

@OurRestorationNation Год назад

Two options- we usually just cover with plastic and then a piece of plywood. OR, you can make a temporary window by using plexiglass and creating a simple wood frame

@joegretawarren2085 Год назад

@@OurRestorationNation We too made simple wood frames, added glass & used heavy duty Storm Window or Screen Panel Hangers (Prime-Line) to hang them. After window restoration is completed, you have storm windows which further insulate the home for cold and heat. They are wonderful!

@OurRestorationNation Год назад

Pretty universal and available at salvage places. Most places have them by the hundreds

@marlymagpie1123 Год назад

The weights total the weight of each sash to create a counterbalance. Example: a 10lb sash would have two 5 lb weights on each side. You’d need a total of 4 weights for a double hung window.
