Today I decided to wash windows. Our house was built in the 40's, and has the original double hung windows with storm windows on the outside. I knew this would be a pretty big project with having to wash inside & outside, plus to take the storms down & wash them inside & out.
I got the storms down & decided to start with a blast from the hose on the outside of the window to get off the major grime (they were really dirty). The putty that holds the glass in began falling off in huge chunks. I now know why the previous owner didn't wash the windows.
Sooooo, I'll be doing these windows one at a time. I'll now be scraping & reglazing the windows & then washing them. Window number one is scraped & primed with linseed oil, the putty is next. Wish me luck.
