Craftsman 1 Lt Stained Mahogany Wood Prehung Front Door w/Dentil Shelf 6 in. Wall Series & 12 in. Get the Sash Out Pry off or unscrew the stops (the moldings in front of the lower sash). Pull out the lower sash, and take off the cords or chains on both sides. Knot the cords to keep them from being pulled into the weight pockets. Remove the parting beads (the vertical strips holding the upper sash). Pull out the upper sash, and take off its cords or chains. Remove the sash hardware and store in a labeled bag. Soften old, hardened putty (glazing compound) with a heat gun set to medium and fitted with a nozzle shield.
Scrape the putty away with a putty knife. This exposes the metal glazier's points; pry them out of the wood. Remove the glass, and label it so you know which opening to put it back into. Clean Out the Joints Using a rotary tool such as a Dremel, grind away any soft or rotten wood wherever sash joints are loose or open. To rebuild the cleaned-out joints, first brush on the epoxy primer and let it set for about 20 minutes. Then, using a plastic scraper, mix the two parts of the epoxy filler into a goop the consistency of Vaseline. Force it into the joint, and spread the mix over the sides to restore the joint's original shape. Wait overnight, then trim the excess with a utility knife. Tip: Clamp pieces of Plexiglas over the wet epoxy. When it hardens, take the plastic off. You'll have a smooth surface that doesn't need much sanding. Wait another day, until the epoxy is fully cured, then hand-sand the sash with 100-grit paper, and wipe up all the dust with a tack cloth.
Seal the wood with a coat of oil-based primer. Tip: "Without a coat of primer, the wood will suck the oils out of the putty and turn it brittle prematurely." —John Dee, painting contractor Lay the sash exterior side up. Roll glazing compound into a long rope, between your hands and press it into the groove, or rabbet, around the pane opening. Gently press the pane evenly into the compound until it's bedded about 1/16 inch from the bottom of the rabbet. Using a putty knife, slide each new glazier's point on the glass and push it point first into the wood sash. Plant at least two points, evenly spaced, on each side of the pane. For large panes, the spacing between the points should not exceed 12 inches. Tip: "On warm days, lubricate the tip of the putty knife with linseed oil so that it doesn't pull out the glazing compound." —John Dee Press another rope of compound around the edge of the pane. Make a smooth bevel between the glass and sash by pulling a putty knife over the compound.
Repeat on the other panes. Wait at least a week, then coat the putty with oil-based primer. Apply a top coat of acrylic latex paint to the putty and sash. If the windows have old weatherstripping, replace it; if there isn't any, add it. (See instructions for weatherstripping a window.) Clean and reattach the hardware; lubricate the pulley axles with a silicone or Teflon spray. Reattach the cords or chains to the upper sash, and reinstall the parting beads or replace them with new ones. Hook the cords or chains to the lower sash, then put both stops back on the jamb to hold the restored sash in place. Tip: Strip paint-encrusted hardware by giving it an overnight dip in a warm Crock-Pot filled with sudsy water.We are one of only a few 5‐Star Lutron showrooms in Canada and represent the ultimate Lutron destination.

Listed: According to documents found by photographer Dan Circa, the house in Llanymynech, near Shrewsbury, is called Calcott Hall and was Grade II* listed in 1953
Crumpled and beautiful: The red dress pictured in a photo on the wall was found hanging in an empty wardrobe, while other clothes clutter the floor Namesake: The woman in the red dress that has given this manor its nickname. The picture shows Ellen Jones, who appears in other images around the house Dust: The years of dereliction are betrayed by the living room which has a thick layer of dust on the floor. Nobody knows why newspapers and notes are left scatteredThe four-bedroom house, officially called Calcott Hall, in Llanymynech, Powys, Mid Wales, was grade II* listed in 1953 - more than two centuries after it was first built as a dairy farm.But according to census records, the owner, Ellen Jones, died in the early 1970s and her home became a forgotten relic within its leafy surroundings. However, her belongings have stayed exactly as she left them.Now, a series of haunting images by photographer Dan Circa has unveiled the mysterious manor, showing how generations made it their home over centuries.
Magical: The eerie dairy farm, dubbed 'Red Dress Manor', has been left to crumble away for decades. It is filled with letters and pictures that seem to be unspoiled Vintage: A rusted 1970s Morris stands in the garage by the main house. It is the kind of car that would fetch thousands at an auction today Personal: Letters and photographs left behind in the manor show a woman named Ellen Jones lived there. Dust has gathered but the shots are clear and mystical Ancient: The building maintains its original architecture from 1725 with heavy wood doors, stone floors, and high ceilings. Few people have visited the site since the 70s Crumbling: Plants tumbling through ceilings, torn curtains and crumbling walls only serve to enhance the building's ethereal and timeless beauty Life: Handbags, ribbons and clothing strewn about the house give little glimpses into the mysterious world of women that lived here years ago Dust-covered glass bottles of 19th century cleaning products such as turpentine and black lacquer look like
works of art in the sunshine gleaming through the cracked windows.Floral 1950s wallpaper tumbling down the walls reveal the heavy stone that was used to build the house in 1725. Now, after years of neglect, nature has moved in. Branches and leaves hang through the ceilings and soil is spilling out of the fire place on to a 1960s television.Mr Circa, 28, from Manchester said: 'I heard stories of the manor and so wanted to investigate for myself.'The picture of a lady in a red dress and the actual red dress still being there was particularly intriguing. I wanted to see what else was inside.'I felt like I was in someone’s home uninvited, I expected the owner to walk round every corner I saw. Bygone era: Delicate bottles of turpentine, black lacquer, and healing oil were the cleaning products of yesteryear. They are a far cry from today's plastic Decades: A box of Daz alongside older cleaning products, 1950s curtains, and an 18th century wooden window frame shows how this manor was home to generations
Decorative and mysterious: Floral curtains and mis-matched floral wallpaper frame the leafy Welsh countryside through broken glass, as a lone shoe sits on the sill I climbed the stairs to enter the main bedroom, I opened the door and to the right there was a photo of the lady in the garment on her dressing table with all her makeup and other personal items on it.'I then turned to the left and saw an open wardrobe with that red dress hung up, it was a very eerie feeling as if someone was there.'I thought it was her at first glance.' Battered: The window panes are broken, the curtain is pulled across the room, and there are clothes scattered. But no sign of why or where the inhabitants went Details: The beautiful and dolled-up Ellen Jones also passed her county examinations at the Shropshire Congretional Union, according to framed certificates Clutter: Frames pictures lean against a typically 60s television before two small chairs with bags and pillows across the floor, and soil spilling out of the fireplace
