Another day on the job................

01/06/11 - Took apart 3rd window in this room that hasn't been touched since it was built in 1909. Removed top and bottom sashes. Scraped and sanded all loose paint inside the sash runners and the inside and outside of the sill. Then power sanded the sashes to bare wood. Had another cracked window, so that will need new glass. Scraped out all old brittle glazing, cleaned it up and applied new glazing. Very nice. 
   Then caulked all gaps in the window trim. They did't use much caulking back in 1909 I'm guessing. While that was setting up, I vacuumed the room of all the dust and debris from all the sanding and scraping, and then primed the rest of the baseboard. After that, primed 2 coats on the window trim. Stay tuned..........
