I had a really fun job come up. Tony Sparkle and I- Joshua David Zehnle- got the opportunity to replace some rotten window sashes around these stained glass windows on a home in the Tower Grove East area. It was challenging and rewarding. We cleaned and reused all of the original hardware and screws. The hinges were made from 1920-1930 by Stanley (Stanley sweethearts) and i assume are original to the house, as were the stained glass windows. We were also able to get the old window weights and hinges moving and working properly to get the windows to operate how they were designed to 100 years ago. I had a lot of fun doing the bridal joints for the window sashes. All made with cedar and painted with oil based trim enamel to ensure longevity.
If you have some old windows that are stuck and you want to get them moving to let some fresh air in for you, the pets, and those house plants, feel free to reach out.
