REPAIRING AND RESTORING OLD WINDOWS
Time & Location
About the Event
Ever think to yourself, are my wood windows are worth saving? Can I repair them myself? Will I save money on my energy bill? (Answers: Yes, yes, and yes!)
Join window specialist Paul Schmidt for an afternoon all about windows. Paul will dispel common myths about old wood windows, explain the difference between original and replacement windows, and demonstrate common repairs that you can do at home. You'll get a thorough overview on how to repair drafts, reglaze windows, fix rotted wood, and improve overall window operation. Most importantly, you'll learn why old wood windows can be just as energy efficient as replacements.
Hosted at Nate & Ally's, 109 E. 3rd Street, Winona, this workshop will take a special look at old windows often found in commercial properties. We'll consider the unique rehab challenges for such buildings.
An absolute don't-miss for anyone who cares for an old building, this class is brought to you by Rethos: Places Reimagined in partnership with the Minnesota Historical Society.
