WINDOW INSPECTION REPORT <br />537 Edgewater <br />I met with home owner Joseph Pietrzak on January 24, 2011. According to Mr. Pietrzak <br />he has repaired all of his windows three times over the 40 years that he has lived in the <br />home. In the process of removing the glazing on the exterior he would sand the muntins <br />in preparation for the new application of glazing. The windows are original and installed <br />in 1921. The muntins started out being very thin, probably to allow more light inside. <br />After sanding three times the muntins , already thin , became even thinner. I looked at <br />every window in the home. In each case the current glazing can be seen from the inside. <br />As a rule the glazing line should not be above the glazing bed. If Mr. Pietrzak were to do <br />that his glass would not stay in their frames. He has had some problems with that in the <br />past. <br />While the windows, at first glance, look to be in good shape they are failing. I would <br />recommend replacement. <br />Wayne Doolittle <br />Preservation Specialist <br />
