Windows - Living Room

Here's the before. These will all be stripped and stained. 


The upper sashes were all painted shut. 


The interior scraping is complete and painting staining has started. 



The exterior side of the sashes are primed and painted to match outside trim color. 

Step 1. Oil based primer. I use oil based paint on any surface in contact with the sash. Latex against latex will stick and prevent smooth operation of sash. 

Step 1a. Interior side of jamb gets stained. 


Step 2 Painting & Staining Completed
