The Southwest Hills overlooking downtown Portland.
|
Our client has some early wood Pella Casement Windows that have seen…
|
…plenty of Portland weather, and it shows. He would like to get some more miles out of them…
|
…if possible. So we generated a proposal to perform some rot-repair, some trim & fit…
|
…work, replacing some of the hardware & improving the weatherstripping where we…
|
…could. We set up a shop in our client’s garage (not shown) to mill our replacement components…
|
…and to machine the sash as needed.
|
Tim Afonin goes about his craft with great skill and feats of daring do.
|
Investing in old wood windows is always a bit less than an exact science as it relates to discerning the condition of the remaining original components.
|
But it’s thousands and thousands less buckos than replacing them with new wood windows. And our client treats us to lunch to show his appreciation.
