Sash Mob! Windows Workshop

Heritage Ohio is partnering with Marsh Building Products, Habitat for Humanity Cincinnati, and Community Matters to teach window restoration while giving back to Lower Price Hill

They’re caked with paint, riddled with cracked glass, drafty, and they’ve been stuck shut longer than you’ve been alive. If we’ve described the window situation in your historic house, then it’s time to do something about it, and we don’t mean replace them. Heritage Ohio is excited to announce that we’re bringing old windows guru Jim Turner back to Ohio to help us conduct a Sash Mob in Cincinnati in May, and you’re invited.

What You Will Learn

If you’ve ever wanted to learn about making your old windows functional, energy efficient, or just more attractive; or, if you’re ready to tackle your own windows DIY project, but don’t know where to begin, then our Sash Mob is the answer for you! Over the course of two days May 20 and 21 you will learn about:

• the basics of window anatomy,
• freeing up you stuck windows,
• installing weather stripping,
• repairing weight ropes and chains,
• cutting and replacing glass, and
• re-glazing window sash.

Window restoration specialist and National Trust Advisor Jim Turner, of Turner Restoration, will lead the workshop.
