Here are before & after pics of my first sash. I then follow up by adding the putty to the rabbet over the glass. When the wood has been treated with the linseed oil, it's softer (until it fully soaks in) & makes seating those points very easy. Yes, this can be tricky, but I have never broken a single pane doing this. As far as companions for your hostas, my all round favorite is the fern leaf bleeding hearts. The red maples aren't as bad as the silver maples as far as roots go, but possible as I have found out. Zone 9 is a marginal climate for citrus, as an unexpected cold snap will put an end to many, including grapefruit and most limes. Gardening under maples is a challenge, and one that I have taken with great results. Trick to assist with the diamond points: I take a sharp, pointy steak knife & slide it into the wood, push the point into that, the carefully take a pair of 90 deg angled needle nose pliers & push on the diamond ating it into the wood until it's no longer visible from the underside of the frame. Below are some examples of fruit trees for zone 9. This sets the glass into the bed of putty. Next, I take my palm sander & with a thick rag underneath, I run the sander into all the corners of the glass. I lay a bead of the Sarco in the rabbet & carefully lay the window inside. (50/50) Rehydrates the wood & the turp assists in dry time & helping the oil to soak in. She mailed me some of the sarco & it's great stuff! After removing all paint & shellac from my frames, I like to give them a coat of a linseed/turpentine mix. I was contacted by a woman who does nothing but historical sash restoration for a living. Tried the Dap & after 2 weeks it still had not set. One of the best pieces of advice I got was to use Sarco Type-M rather than Dap-33. I have done restoration on several sets of sash. I just read through this entire post! Loving all the old house knowledge! As the owner of a 100 yo home myself, I have also done a ton of research. i already have a million zillion hostas, including the big ones (don't let me tell you the story it's too long)-so what to do? I have figured out what to put in the sunny space where the giant gnarly lilacs were.what is it with gardening that as soon as you figure out one space another one pops up? i don't really want another bush/tree but it would help with privacy. The Cut is a site for women who want to view the latest fashion trends read provocative takes on issues that matter, from politics to relationships follow celebrity style icons and preview new products. Next to it, there is an old (perhaps) mulberry? i have no ee that used to have little pink flowers in the spring and the birds love that too :) i just don't want to cut out any more trees! when we moved here there were a lot more, and for some reason they just don't make it! lightning took a couple, and bugs took our birches.attrition reigns! I need to figure out what to plant in the space by the house that is mostly shady. So i went out to trim some bushes that desperately needed it, although the birds disagreed :) and i found that the forsythia near the house was almost completely dead.so i decided to just cut the whole thing out.i dug out the stump and now there is a big space and the birds are unhappy.
