Re: Insulating Old Windows
If it doesn't interfere with the weights then it should work. Be sure to check the caulking on the exterior of the window.

Re: Dormer project
Got the dormer in primer today. Sashes are done. I'll caulk tomorrow and paint over the weekend.

Re: Get paint off Glass panes after removal from sash?
