That's two in a row!
Magnificent!
It looks like the side that's towards the house is sandwiched between the wooden parts of the frame. The edge that faces outwards is detached in places.
Let me see if I can get a non-fuzzy picture of it.
You like doing that, don't you?
How'd you guess? :)
You really killed the thread, didn't you?
Morning - well, sip, that was a refreshing little thunderstorm. Got about a quarter of inch of rain. We saw the line last night on regional radar and wondered when or if it would make it our way. btw, gypsygirl was not amused by the lightning and thunder.
We got a bit of storm too...Steve was on call, so he's out doing tests on the stormwater. It hit here around 6am I think, so he got a good night's sleep before having to go out and now he gets some overtime! Woohooo!
I'm taking the boys to church here in a bit...
Morning
I got 0.3 inches last night. It's supposed to get down to the 40's tonight, or so the weenies say...
I've been thinking about muh weatherstripping problem. I wonder if I could get some tin snippers and cut that strip off and install new stripping.
~sip~
If you cut the strip off, the remainder be left sandwiched between the two pieces of wood? Will there be enough room to install additional weatherstripping, or could you use pliers and just pull it out? If you have to use tin snips, BE CAREFUL, the metal left will be as sharp as a razor blade (insert voice of experience here).
OB has gone to a gun show, I'm doing wash and surfing, seriously considering beginning ironing, maybe I'll look for something to eat first....
I was planning on leaving the sandwiched part between the wood. I could try filing the jagged edges down.
I expect to find some rotted wood behind there...not a lot because the frame itself isn't squishy from the outside. I was going to fill with that epoxy resin stuff.
I was studying up on weatherstripping for awning windows. It looks like v stripping attached to the frame, not the sash, is the way to go.
That epoxy resin is good stuff, we used it on rotten wooden sills, 'til we got new windows and just ripped all the old stuff out and installed new wood all around.
I think installing the weatherstripping on the frame is a good idea, and it should be a little simpler, too.
Heh....I've got a plan then. I just need to finish the glazing project and find some epoxy resin. How long does it take for that stuff to cure?
Heh, kinda varies, cures best when there is moderately high heat and low humidity, hmmmm. Not today, I'm afraid.
Haven't used the products in a good long while, so I'm not really sure about what's out there now. In the past, cure rates have been generally 24 to 72 hours.
LSA found a really great multi-purpose snips; called "OXO Good Grips" multi purpose snips. Package says light sheet metal, so that might work for you. Got them at Lowe's. OB
:~D Good morning ALL!
We're a little creaky this morning but we got some good projects accomplished yesterday, got some yard work done over at Rosies and got my big ole doghouse moved over there and a new foor put on it, so Cisco should have a dry place to be out of the rain when winter comes.
Today we've got a fencing project of our own...
~sip~
Wow, honey. I think I better pour you some more coffee. Got your mords wixed up there. :)
Heh.... errr - ROOF!
~sip~
OK. I'll check 'em out.
Well that cure time isn't as long as the glazing compound. :)
I'm off to do my walk about the Shire. Guadalcanal will have to wait.
