Inching Along
Before. Note the condition of the lap sidng, right of curved window. It was much worse in person.
Like this. EEK.
Some fussing required.
After. Ta-da!
After. Oh, and SQUEE!!!!!!!! Now…sigh…on to the left side of the window. Bad, too, but not as bad.

Perfect, Bravo!
Thank goodness for the box fan!
Wondered if you’d seen article/email about restoration of a mansion in Harlem, St. Nicholas Place & 150th Street. The couple who are restoring it reminded me of you! fNYT article at https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/realestate/harlem-bailey-mansion-renovation.html)— don’t know if you can access it without being a subscriber. It was owned by Barnum & Bailey guy, James Bailey, and there’s a sister-building by the same architect in Cortland, NY., the 1890 House. (I lived near Cortland for years, but, alas, didn’t know about the house.)
Thanks for posting this! I found this site: https://sallieslateproductions.com/james-bailey-house
It shows almost all of the house!
FABULOUS, Melissa! Thank you!
Thank you Myra, for sharing your article. Another fascinating, epic story! And another collection of wonderful windows designed to “flabbergast”.
Be careful out there Ross, we’re into the triple digit temperatures, now. That said … Ahhh … that new, crisp edge on that lap siding … Just. So. Good. 💜
Anyone else notice the note written in cursive on the window jamb? I think it reads, “put slant edge to jams before nail _ _ _ _ ” ?
interesting that the carpenters used cursive , a lost form of hand writing nowadays.
