It is extremely difficult and very costly to find true divided windows like you have. For the two painfully cold months you can cover the inside with shrinking plastic (my sister in Maine uses this) and hang lined drapes.<br /><br />If you need any help with your windows, please talk to some of the bloggers on Houseblogs.netKathy from NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502604640751977016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-12292167101270294562010-10-24T11:11:47.144-05:002010-10-24T11:11:47.144-05:00Yikes.........that is alot of sanding, cleaning, t...Yikes.........that is alot of sanding, cleaning, taping, painting and removal of tape clean-up. But, it will all be worth it! Question: so, what color is the top portion of the diningroom? It doesn't look like the red anymore, what color is it?

Did you test the interior of the window sills and door jams? Those places are where you're more likely to see trauma to the paint and get the flakes and chips of leaded paint.Smldadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481345106777668373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-10243897899265106102010-10-24T07:37:07.019-05:002010-10-24T07:37:07.019-05:00those are really pretty windows - love the squaren...those are really pretty windows - love the squareness.<br /><br />that room in the photos looks like a giant candy corn - surely you're waiting until after halloween to repaint it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-21434131671042694322010-10-24T07:18:45.950-05:002010-10-24T07:18:45.950-05:00oh my goodness I can't believe you have to ta...oh my goodness I can't believe you have to tape off those wooden grids. Our home is the same era but the wooden grids in the windows pop off so the windows can be cleaned more easily (and the grids can be painted way more easily too, we found). that has to be a bear! good luck!alinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-56585180320435348262010-10-24T06:26:23.202-05:002010-10-24T06:26:23.202-05:00I love the blue on the windows!I love the blue on the windows!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-16496481472984379082010-10-23T22:24:09.932-05:002010-10-23T22:24:09.932-05:00You've got a lot of serious questions there, b...You've got a lot of serious questions there, but what I really want to know is . . . how in the world do you talk that man into such poses?Deborah Halversonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813383597378919945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-27882958463916822652010-10-23T21:40:57.481-05:002010-10-23T21:40:57.481-05:00I so love the colors!!

It is "masking liquid" and I got mine at Sherwin Williams - it is expensive - over $60 a gallon, but soooooo worth it in time saved. It is a primer, clear in color, but you brush it on the wood parts and also right onto the glass, very generously and you have to work fast. Once dry, you paint your wood without worrying how much paint you get on the glass. After the paint dries, you run a utility knife around the edges and the masking stuff peels off the glass in one big sheet just like a piece of saran wrap, leaving you with gorgeous trim. It's magic! Try it, you'll love it & you'll save the $60 in the cost of all that tape. Don't use it on plexiglass - it doesn't come off.Kim from FLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-29029715484178578572010-10-23T21:37:35.501-05:002010-10-23T21:37:35.501-05:00Those windows don't look too bad for a 50 year...Those windows don't look too bad for a 50 year old house. Especially if you don't have to take out the storms and replace with screens in the spring/summer. Don't forget the tax credit for new windows.<br /><br />I'd test again, BTW - almost unheard of for a 50 year old house not to have lead-based paint. <br /><br />When are we gonna get to know the layout of this abode? It looks like an awesome house - I love a good ranch house!<br /><br />PS Why do you still need baby equipment?
