If you aren’t doing the Mechanical Makeover to your historic double hung wood window first, you are doing it the hard way. My way sets the work up for efficiency.
1. Change the ropes.
2. Remove the paint buildup
3. Nail the parting bead and stops on the left hand side
4. Prime it (for paint grade)…
Don’t overcomplicate it. Don’t overthink it. If you have to change the parting beads, so be it. If you have to change the stops, fine. If you are a pro you should be able to do two of these a day, minimum. If you can’t do this yet, that’s fine. Practice until you can, there’s plenty of this work out there. Go get some. Or come help me. Either way - help.
Love you guys,
Steve
