Intro to my house

This is my house.

It was built in 1909, a 2 story (1 1/2) craftsman style house.  It has a basement you can stand up in, and a screened in porch the full width of the front.  It has two full rooms upstairs and a smaller room with a dormer roof.  All 3 rooms upstairs have walk-in closets with solid wooden doors.

Here is the parcel post picture.
As you can see, it has a lot of windows.  The upstairs has 11, 100 year old, wooden, double hung, counter weighted windows with matching doors and baseboards.

The windows are the main subject of this blog.

I'm doing a full restoration of all the windows upstairs, 2 windows in the master bedroom on the main floor, and one big window in the kitchen.  I count 26 sashes that I could do total.  So far as of Oct. 2013 I've restored 11 with only 2 permanently installed.  I'll be logging my previous work and discussing future plans in this blog so check back to enjoy my old wood windows journey.
