324 <br />Chase: So if they're stored in the basement, is that an acceptable solution? <br />325 <br />Klusczinski: Well, if they're stored in the basement, I think that legally we have no <br />326 <br />mechanism for reviewing if that everhappens and to what extent that would satisfy us. It <br />327 <br />sounds good, and I certainly believe that Dr. Enderle would do it, but what about the next <br />�8 <br />9 <br />owner? And how about if boxes fall onto the sashes? And I think that the nicest way to <br />preserve the windows is to preserve them in place where they can function and satisfy the <br />330 <br />dwelling. So, I'd rather see them on the house than in the basement because we have no <br />331 <br />mechanism to make sure to make that happens, nor to make sure that no unfortunate <br />332 <br />damage from the installation of sash pacs causing maybe the original windows not to go <br />333 <br />right back in without more and more modifications. So, those are concerns that I have. I . <br />334 <br />try to standardize my decision making process from within this guidebook. I mentioned <br />335 <br />before that it's the closest thing that we have to a contract with the neighborhood. And, I <br />336 <br />did have the availability to sit on the local district standards committee to review this book; <br />337 <br />in fact that's how I met many of you to begin with. And I know what the logic and the <br />338 <br />sentiments were coming from the neighborhood at that time, and I know that our panel was <br />339 <br />composed of people that were both for and against the ordinance in general, but for <br />340 <br />whatever reason, we came together So with the understanding that windows are worth <br />341 <br />keeping in place and everyone on our committee back then had no problem seeing that- I <br />342 <br />don't represent that committee anymore, but I bring that here as an understanding of what <br />343 <br />the entire district, I guess, found acceptable from the representatives that we had sit on that <br />344 <br />committee. So, I mean...I'm a windows guy... <br />345 <br />Sassano: And you make a very eloquent case, I must admit. I want to ask Mr. Enderle, do <br />346 <br />you currently open the windows? And they operate pretty well? What would you say if I <br />347 <br />told you that the chances of them opening as well will likely decrease when you put these <br />348 <br />new ones in because with the pressure bar, there's every likelihood that they will jam. <br />349 <br />Enderle: What I open, I open the window to the east and so, and I open the door of the <br />350 <br />house, and the kitchen... <br />351 <br />Sassano: Of the four windows that you have, do they all open pretty well? <br />fi2 <br />Enderle: No, not all four. <br />�3 <br />Sassano: But that's something that's important to you? <br />354 <br />Enderle: Yes. <br />355' <br />Sassano: These new windows likely aren't going to open that well, are you aware of that? <br />356 <br />Enderle: What I see, I also on the second floor, I can open ... I open the lower sash in winter <br />357 <br />time and the upper sash in summer time. <br />358 <br />Sassano: But do you appreciate that your new windows may not open? <br />359 <br />Enderle: The question is... <br />360 <br />Sassano: Well, the technology is such that they're going to get stuck. It's not a question of <br />361- <br />the windows not really fitting, I think that by looking you can see that they're square <br />362 <br />enough to fit, but they may not be square enough to go up and down. <br />363 <br />Enderle: That was my concern that I always had, you know. That's why, that was the main <br />. 364 <br />reason that first I proposed the wood insert. Then you have the frame which is squared. . <br />365 <br />The thing is that the windows and the house is quite stable, I'm amazed to see that, but <br />366 <br />quite right I can't guarantee if they'll really work. The main point why I want those is for <br />367 <br />air conditioning. I don't have any air conditioning in my house, and I don't need it. I can <br />368 <br />do it by opening those two different sashes and it works. <br />369 <br />Riley: Ifyou can't open these new windows then where are you? <br />370 <br />Sassano: What we're suggesting and I think that we all agree that what's in the best <br />371 <br />interest of your house is restoring those windows. I know that you don't believe that, but I <br />372 <br />think that we.... <br />373 <br />Enderle: I think that if you restore the windows then you'll have the same question about <br />---374--------------squared....-------------- <br />-- ------------------ --- -------- <br />375 <br />Sassano: No, you won't because they're already built and they can easily be adjusted. The <br />—6 <br />thing is ... you see, becauseyou're using a weighted movement, not a pressurized unit, ok, <br />—7 <br />the weighted movement allows the window to go up and down in a non perfectly square - <br />7 <br />
