378 unit. I think that we've all experienced in a window that's not open, the window can <br />379 actually jiggle around a little when it goes up and down. New windows require two <br />380 perfectly pressurized vinyl tracks and it's the consistency of it's pressure, what happens is <br />381 it goes up just like that then it sticks. <br />2 <br />Endele: But then it's not insulating enough. IfI restore it, and maybe they go up and down <br />3 <br />but there is a space between the sashes and the frame. <br />384 <br />Sassano: That's easy to insulate with standard weather stripping. <br />385 <br />Enderle: But I assume that they work, yes. <br />386 <br />Klusczinski: I'm sure that's something that could be adjusted or remedied too. I'm sure <br />387 <br />that the frames could be slightly racked or shimmed or something... <br />388 <br />Sassano: The sash frame or the windows frame? <br />389 <br />Klusczinski: The window frame. <br />390 <br />Sassano: What you have to remember is that all of those windows were built on site and <br />391 <br />they could have been built out of square. I mean, they were carpentry, they didn't order <br />392 <br />them and off load them off of a truck. So if they're not square, that's how they were built. <br />393 <br />Klusczinski: So it's an original example of craftsmanship now? <br />394 <br />Sassano: Well, that was never in doubt. <br />395 <br />Riley: Did you have a letter that you wanted to read? <br />396 <br />Klusczinski: I did. <br />397 <br />Riley: From.... <br />398 <br />Klusczinski: I slipped it in... <br />399 <br />Riley: From Joan... <br />400 <br />Klusczinski: We're not at the public hearing yet. I'll try to hurry up. Very good. Thank <br />401 <br />you professor. Is there any member of the public willing to speak in support of the <br />402 <br />petition? Hearing none, seeing none. Is there any member of the public wishing to speak <br />403 <br />in opposition to the current position? Name and address for the record sir. <br />404 <br />Hayden: My name is Paul Hayden, and my address is 402 W Washington Street in South <br />405 <br />Bend. For the last 30 years, I've worked as a restoration contractor in the West <br />:R6 <br />Washington district and the surrounding areas. For the last year I've been a preservation <br />=7 <br />consultant with Historic Landmarks Foundation. I'd like to take this opportunity to let you <br />408 <br />know that I made a site visit to this property on 10/2/2007. I was able to inspect the <br />409 <br />windows and sashes for this bay window in question. I just made some notes, and wanted <br />410 <br />to review those. Sashes appeared to be original on all four, both upper and lower. The <br />411 <br />corners on the upper sashes were loose so they had dropped down a bit and that was <br />412 <br />causing gaps. Some of the wood at the bottoms was slightly soft, as some moisture had <br />413 <br />gotten in there and some of the wood was creating rot. Window glaze was in pretty good to <br />414 <br />fair condition. There was a minor amount of peeling paint, and I'd say that judging from <br />415 <br />the amount of peeling, the windows had been painted in about the last five or so years. <br />416 <br />There was a slight angle at the bottom of the sash where the sash met the sill. There was a <br />417 <br />little bit of a gap there that would have to be addressed. That was not the fault of the <br />418 <br />window; the bay has sunk slightly in the foundation. Some missing things were also <br />419 <br />important- there was no sign of weather stripping on any of the windows. Nor any sign <br />420 <br />that it had been applied. I didn't find any remnants of storm window hardware, that would <br />421 <br />indicate to me that a wood storm window was not original. I just wanted to get that out <br />422 <br />and say that out front. Also, what was a little unusual on these was the lack of a window <br />423 <br />stop. In typical construction for double hung windows you'd have an upper sash that's <br />424 <br />held in place by a window stop and then you have the outer casing. There was no window <br />425 <br />stop on this which was a little different then you would typically see. So, based on that, I <br />426 <br />want to make a few comments... here's what I feel strongly about; 1. the preservation creed, <br />427 <br />first, do no harm. Don't tear out something that can be repaired. Leave it in place. Sash <br />—428-----------pacs <br />remove the original sashes; the glass;- the pulley system and damage the window --- <br />429 <br />jambs. Having worked on houses that have sash pacs that rot and deteriorate over the <br />=0 <br />years, this is a problem that I want to impress upon- most window pulleys are pressed into <br />1 <br />the sides of the jamb, many contactors just hack them out, they're very difficult to remove <br />N. <br />
