" The next thing we have to do out here is work on the shutters on the windows. As you can see here we have one of the old shutters that had come off. It's a lot of disrepair. We have some broken areas here. It's more likely also covered with lead paint. So between trying to retrofit these and fix them up and put them back gone. It's really not worth the time and effort so we have these new shutters. From. JL shutters. Repainted from the factory with a ten year guarantee warranty on campaigning itself. They are movable. They also have metal reinforcement down through the Stiles so that. It's a much stronger shutter and you never have to worry for the next ten years anyhow lines. As far as repainting them or fixing them. These shows and Jane L also come with somewhat historic style hinges you can see on the back we've already installed. The hinge section to be shutter itself. All the screws are stainless steel so you don't have to worry about them rusting over a period of time. There's also the hinge part which the hinge pin which goes on the windows. Casing itself which will eventually slide in and will be a working shutter as well as decorative. A party taken the time and done my measurements. You can see here quality. Identified the drilling holes that I want to put a pilot hole land."

" With the pins on the outside casing then you pick up the shutter your line up. The hinges on the back with the pins on the casing. And then just slides right down in place. There you have a shutter now. That is operable and functional."

" The last thing to do is to put on the shutter dogs which goes down at the bottom which actually holds shutter in an open position. First thing we have to do is line it up where we want it and then make a mark on the wall. So that we can drill a hole. Now because this is a Stucco house for many years -- masonry bit initially. To drill a hole into the Stucco itself so if we tried to do anything else chances are the Stucco itself would just. -- Flake off. Once we've gotten to the Stucco. We change over. Sure standard bit house because we wanted to be a will drill a pilot hole in his sheathing itself. And we didn't see what would normally happen is once you put in the lag bolt it would have a tendency to want to crack the sheathing over a period of time. And it once again loses strength."

" You could just screw these right to the house but then you'd lose some of the historic value or appeal he had the old style hinges. When you want you can actually use them and close the shutter so that it actually can protect the windows in the case of bad storm. And these are also made of her -- material which will not rot warp or crack. So they'll last a very long time and you really enjoy them."
