    At long last. The climax of the great window epic. Like William Makepeace Thackery’s Vanity Fair, the rising action has been long leading. But like Vanity Fair, there has been a lot of profound matters to cover. But now, how satisfying to see these unique and irreplaceable (in a manner of speaking) pieces of this house’s grandeur and historical integrity. At long last, light soon filters through once again.

      What a fun comparison. There has been a lot of drama leading up to this moment. It is so nice to finally have the parlor in full light.

    If only there were pictures of the construction going on back in the early 1890s. Its been said that Clayton would take final photos of the buildings and homes upon completion, but i haven't been able to find these. The Clayton descendants have boxes of photos and negatives though.

    We always prime wood underlay & cedar siding on both sides & cut ends with oil-based primer to prevent moisture penetration & warpage. LOVE yourcurved windows & panes. Glazing is a lost art. I loved learning to do this from my father! ❤️🙏

    • @leaguekempnerhouse
      @leaguekempnerhouse  7 месяцев назад +1

      My instinc is to prime everything with oil base primer, too. These curved windows are a great feature. It is so nice to see them back up.

      There are several sides to this discussion and I can only rely on our own experience and learn from dismantling or replacing historic window units throughout my career. There is a misconception shared by many that believe water rots wood. Water on its own does not hurt the wood at all, but if there is enough moisture, fungus grows and that is what rots wood. My opinion is that if we allow the parts of the window unit to breathe that are not in direct UV contact and not retain moisture then the chances of fungus growth in minimal. If the moisture content in the wood is below 20% the majority of the time, with the ability to dry out when it rises above that, then the wood will never rot because the fungus does not have a chance to grow.

    Hint for marking keys: Using a P Touch label maker, I used 12mm Laminated tape to put a Letter on my house keys. I have several identical keys so I marked F for front, B back, K kitchen, G garage etc. The labels have stayed on for years.

    im sure you may know, but they make a nice putty knife with a 45 degree angle at the end to create a nice angle for the glaze..

      I've tried so many over the years. It's fun how everyone developes their own style. I don't think I've ever tried the angled tool. I'll have to check it out.

    I believe you have a floor drain with backflow in the upper floor bathroom in case the toilet overflowed. They often installed floor drains to prevent damage to lower floor ceilings. ❤️🙏

    • @leaguekempnerhouse
      @leaguekempnerhouse  7 месяцев назад +1

      That's what I thought at first but the Kempner grandchildren remember playing in that bathroom because they liked to flush the toilet by stepping on the button. I need to get down on the floor and take a closer look at it.
