How many have worked with double hung windows with rope, pully and weights for each sash? That's what J & J are also doing in between the painting proscess. Each new finished custom window sash---6 windows, 12 sashes- , 1 pulley on window each top side of window!!! Sash cords knotted and inserted in grove and slot on each side of each sash , top and bottom, over pulley and attached to 6 .1 to 8 pound weight. All old sash cords gone or rotted, window weights dropped down in wall cavity or missing. Tool devised to reach down and pull up check, or find replacement wights. And oh yes---it is a special knot that will not slip out and is just the right size to fit and stay in the special cut out for the knot eon each side of each sash!!! Does frustration seem reasonable?????

People have asked if can still make donations. YES!!!! The work we have done and are working on now are the exterior of the School. The windows are part of the exterior. We have not started on and do not have any grants for the interior. We are continuing to seek and apply for grants for this purpose but do not have any now so any donations are a tremendous help and so deeply appreciated.

The Interior suffered smoke and heat damage and some water damage to the plaster. The interior is the next phase requiring floor repair and refinishing, removing blistered finish from the never painted wood work trim of windows and wainscoting. The plaster will have to be repaired in the historical manner, cleaned and pained.
