RE: A Room Reborn - aka "Where the Hell has Jess Been?"

Sash, glaze points... I understand none of these terms. It's possible I'd understand them in Hebrew, but far from certain. Hardware work is one of my most glaring of weaknesses.

I can tell it's been a lot of work, and not only because you've told me of Discord. And I can tell you things look much better now :)

Oh yeah, two part epoxy is awesome. I used it for wargaming miniatures before.

Sort:  

The stuff I use is like a foam. Very lightweight but hardens like a rock. On the sashes and molding there were chunks rotted away, where I was able to take a mold of existing matching pieces and create replacement spans really easily. I was so shocked at the first sight of the trim I thought there was no way I could do it myself. But I wasn’t willing to lose the character of the old woodwork and a call to a historic restoration firm in a nearby city yielded an estimate of $1200 per window.

So I figured it out 😅

I still don't know what sashes are. But! I'm proud of you :)

Hmmm. Even with pictures for “context?”

It’s the part you probably think of as “the window.” The frame with glass in it that slides up and down.
