Work on 308 Windows

Today I started by going through the 308 and adjusting the two or three remaining windows that weren't working properly for whatever reason. Usually this involves disassembling the window shade tracks, removing the sash, sanding or planing, or what not. Also some latches had worked loose and had to be reattached. Now all is well.

This is the interior of the 308 - unlike the 309, everything is painted. There's no varnished wood left. Jack Biesterfeld helped with much of the restoration here in 2003-2006.

Here's a 308 window close up. This is as high as the windows will go, due to a railroad modification. I don't know why they did this; the 309 and 321 were never changed.

After the 309 warmed up I spent the rest of the day on stripping paint remnants from the clerestory sash, then staining. Then it started to snow so I left early. The weather, of course, has been dreadful.
