Do you find yourself drawn to old houses and the windows in them? Have you dreamed of improving your home or earning income repairing and improving other old homes? If you have lamented the sad sight of antique doors and window sashes set out on a curb for trash, antique sash windows may be your kind of craft. The Friendly Window Book provides a beginner outline of old window repairs and old home service lifestyle stories. Imagine building a nice collection of tools, discovering a new world of proven, quality materials, and taking on the noble task of preserving American history. Antique sash windows draw attention to the details of old houses, their age, and the purpose of those homes. They invite the craftsperson at heart to consider the value of every pulley, sash, lift, and lock that surround the home’s view of the world outside. Don’t be intimidated by broken ropes, cracked glass, and layers of paint. The Friendly Window Book eases you into the perfectly doable craft of maintaining, repairing, and rebuilding antique, weight, and pulley windows. You’ll never see the views out the windows of your old home the same again.
