" They like Jeff due to -- Bob well we're just hang the president accepts the first steel doors start over again that it's. And it these courts have also been set it is to be stripped. And we're using new hinges right. Where you yeah -- is -- and does -- and -- interest that we found out that the rooms were brass -- right and it just deteriorated. -- much but this was a house that was built with -- economy in mind and they didn't desperate for the solid brass even meant anything that's been done. Here's a mock up of the trim though. The -- that -- used right yes and that what you have then this is that JM yeah. And to -- here that went on current. Excuse me this is the casing that was on currents and the jam on this side here because this case and then it's applied moldings. On this side and this is an exact replica of what we have throughout the all right so it's a three. Old structural lumber -- that the that this is the -- So this is actually the way you would hang indoors today would be hung on this -- here right so everything that we have done is. Apply and on top of that which is a full dimensional two by four. And spread and to acquire Digital's Feinstein right so it's pretty anti Israeli we're reusing as much as we can Alessio looks left those. In the next missile handed out and -- room super. All right so are you trimming out the windows yet right that's that we've just that an actress went over here somewhere -- working the kinks out of this okay and what I'm going to do her arrested that finished this insulation. Yeah we're we've taken out these -- The old sash weights that are throughout the house because when you add up all the volume of the space that these things go up and down it. And he'd turn into one number it's almost like having a window open without insulation and throughout the winners so we'll be replacing these with of the spring loaded. Runners. And and so we have we've managed to south salvaged can still look at. What's nice is that they are milled right to some of the original millwork to go straight into the the window -- right to make an awful lot of us stuff. From scratch. These are -- to say. And when it's going to screw this for a non. Yeah he's goes on next time. I would got that side casings now let me look at that is as I understand we had to cut these down in this profile right so that they. It -- right because of this I think it came -- had a problem when they first built this house because these window jambs stick and pass the plaster yeah. By about creates a minute so let's make this rabbit it's a little archaeology -- what we've discovered is that they used. Instead of full two by fours which would have been four inches back in 1997. They use -- newly available smaller dimension the three and a half yeah right and what that meant was that the window didn't quite fit appropriately. And so they have this. Modify the trim that had already been now ordered. We've got to nail roughly every six inches or so what's next what do we climb next the next thing is going on with the -- molding. Look at that I was I again want to wants assistant turned -- And it will be but corner with a miter. In this is the third piece which is what do you call that this is the stock way to stop exactly that sash slides up and down. Now this last piece that we're applying is known as the apron. And here we are using the original. We did bother to have it stripped -- one reason. The fact that the ends of of the apron were cut by the -- hundred years ago but things are. That in a lot of tedious work to replicate itself. We're using the same one."
