Now Add an inch and a half to that measurement and that's where you cut the rope.
In our case we painted before putting the sash back in. The most important thing is for the knot to be no bigger than the hole allows, i.e. If using chains, use wires to secure the ends to the weights.Tie the knot to securely hold the weight into place. In our situation we've also done paint stripping and painting, so that's probably another $20 per window.
I might call them and get an estimate and use your procedure as a standard for what I want.My plan is if the price is right, I'll have them remove the sashes on one day and come back the next to reinstall. I'll try these tips and see how it turns out. It's cheaper to replace a small 6/6 pane than a giant 2/2 or 1/1 pane.I think Brendan hit the nail on the head. I find it's easier to measure the cord length for the lower sash fully open rather than fully closed.Finally, make a pencil mark on the rope where you marked the jamb for the knot hole location.In the same manner as with the upper sash, cut the cord about a foot longer than the pencil mark and tie a knot that stops at the line.Once this was done on both sides, I had my ropes in place and was nearing completion. I have stripped all the trim, sashes, and some of the muntin bars between the panes but I can't get to some of the areas until the sashes are removed completely.

We sold our 1920's Tudor last year and no longer have the old double hung windows (that I loved) in our new home, but before we sold I had to replace a lot of these broken sash cords. If you have a Facebook account, save yourself a step and use
If you need to access more than just the weights and ropes, removing any trim around the window is your first step.
Would you be able to give me the name of anyone in my area that does this? For a window without access panels, you also need to remove the window casing.Taping the new cord to the old cord will help you feed it through the pulley.When you pull the old cords out the new cord will feed up and over the pulleys.Tie the knot to securely hold the weight into place. We retained the old-but-probably-not-original 6-over-6 windows on the rear.6/6 windows on the rear is a common original configuration. Just place it deep enough to be secure.Still holding the sash, grab the other rope and place it in the same manner, then slide the upper sash into place.Take a step back and admire your work. After a couple windows I mastered it and it went pretty quickly, and I got about 7 windows done in a weekend while my husband was at work.
Once I'm happy with it, I mark the top of the hole on the jamb.With the jamb marked, I grab the cord and pull down (pulling the weight up) until the weight is just slightly above the base of the window frame. 7/14/2020 at 9:36 AM. Test fit your knot, and once you're happy, cut your cord about an inch below the end of your knot.Attaching the sash cord to the sash is not necessarily a two person job, but two people makes it a lot easier. !What an excellent tutorial!!! I grab the weight that I labelled for the upper sash and begin preparing the knot. I just wanted to let you know that we haved changed our name and have built a new website: Justin Smith - owner, SRS Hardware (formerly Smith Restoration Sash)If you pull the rope so the weight is all the way at the top, then clamp a vice grip down on it it makes attaching rope to sash much less "exciting". Or maybe it's re-rope sash, or restring windows, or re-weight with sash cord? Cheaper 6/6 windows with smaller glass panes were put on the back of rowhouses where no one could see them. Oh well.Great tutorial! Not bad. I was feeling good about my accomplishment, but there was always this little voice in the back of my head saying "that rope wasn't perfect, it didn't look identical to the old stuff.

I was once rather intimidated by this whole project, but now that I've done it on several windows, it's a completely bearable project that I'm excited to undertake on the remaining original windows of our home.Now that the sash are restrung we have a final few major steps left before these windows can be called fully finished. You can try your request again, but if you continue to experience problems, please contact the administrator.
This is primarily because they're the ones with which I'm most familiar and comfortable.
When I saw them they looked wrong for our house, and when I opened the window and heard the metal on metal clank of the chain rolling over the pulley, that killed it for me. Thanks!! I'd love to replace the pulleys at the same time as the cord. But it seems like it's worth the effort. I had the idea to blog back then, but just never got around to it. I bought cotton window sash cord but I'm curious if nylon cording has a longer life expectancy?We create antique style etched glass for windows and doors.

"It's now back in stock at amazon and I have another 100 ft hank on the way.I don't know how I got here today, I googled something, and now I'm here because I'm a nerd like you who loves fixing things and learning how things operate and seeing these old windows piqued my interest.
