Window Putty


After work in the evenings, Jason has been going under the house to work on the new (but old) casement windows for our bedroom. He is way more motivated than me!

The window putty had deteriorated and was crumbling away on the exterior facing side. It was a very easy fix though. Jason scraped the old loose stuff out and then smoothed some new window putty around the edges to seal in the glass. Very simple.

He also used the heat gun to scrape off the worst of the thick gunky paint before he starts sanding them. When they are cleaned up and painted, they will look really good.

  1. That is one clever husband! How lucky you are to have a handyman around the house.

    Had to tell you, my (non-handyman) hubby came home with 2 more shirts! Unbelievable! Apparently they are on sale at Myer.

    Have a great weekend-keep that whip out!

    Best wishes always,
    Natasha.
