If the sash windows are not rotten you can usually stop the rattle and draughts by changing the parting beads (the thin bits of wood which separate the two sashes and lets them slide.) and moving the beading around the overall window in towards the sliding sashes. It takes a bit of time to do as everything in a Georgian sash is usually painted solid (but amazingly sound under the paint)and everything has to be rubbed sown as re-painted but, as a repair, the listed Building bods at the Council cannot object and it is a cheap, if laborious, solution.Morning all. 5.7 on yet another blustery morning. I can certainly see the benefits of a modern house when the weather is like this. It’s just blows through all our nooks and crannies and cools the house more than when it’s minus 8! As well as rattle the sash windows and keep us awake all night. We need to win the lottery to replace our windows though. As we’re Grade 2 listed they have to be the same as they are now. Georgian pained, wooden sashes. Mega bucks.
No massive plans, like @Bloden I will be unleashing my domestic goddess and erect the ironing board in front of the telly and watch rubbish. I might even iron some clothes!
Have a wonderful Wednesday. 🙂
Enough of woodwork - 6.1 today. Weather windy but dry with intermittent periods of sun. Could be worse.
Have a good day all.
