SASH & JAMB RESTORATION SPECIFICATIONS <br />Work Description <br />A) Sash Removal and Restoration. <br />1) Be sure that the window opening to be worked on has a <br />weather-stripped storm window in place, to protect the house <br />from the weather, if you want to remove the window sashes to <br />work on them. <br />2) Remove the interior sash stops, parting stops, metal weather <br />stripping, & both window sashes from the window opening, and <br />mark them for location with a marking that can survive paint <br />removal. <br />Discard the parting stop and keep the interior stop, unless you <br />will be installing a new interior stop, in which case, discard the <br />original interior stop as well. Do save all screw and washers <br />removed from interior stop for later re -use. <br />3) Remove sash cords from sash weights, and put the weights <br />someplace convenient, until it is time to string new sash cord <br />through them, and re -install the windows. Try not to loose <br />them down the inside of the wall: even if you don't need them, <br />one of your neighbors will! <br />4) Carefully remove sash pulleys from jamb & all hardware. <br />Safely store all hardware & screws. <br />5) Remove all paint, putty, & non -original obstructions from <br />the 4 surfaces of the wood jambs, all surfaces of the window <br />sashes and the interior stop. <br />DO NOT dry scrape jambs, stops or sashes. All paint removal <br />from sashes and interior stops can either take place off-site or in <br />the yard. Use a wet paint removal product, or mist the jambs <br />with water before carbide scraping them. Do not use heat that <br />exceeds 600 degrees to remove paint. Over 600 degrees causes <br />lead paint fumes that are toxic, and can burn the original wood. <br />Dispose of all paint debris according to local regulations. <br />Z <br />
