I just bought a 100 year old Victorian House, windows have the counter weight pulley some need repair, Wisconsin snowy winters and cold wind drafts get inside so, now I am watching your videos to learn to fix them, first time owning a house, love my old house and This Old House Channel. 😁

This is a good tutorial. Helpful for doing my own windows in the future.

The original Windows and doors at my mom's house were never installed leveled/plum when she had it built in 2003; so many things were built/installed slightly crooked.

Don't know if this covered. If you have tilting windows, which makes them easy to maintain. But beware how you handed them okay. These windows have pivot points which are easy broken if the tilting isn't done correctly. I'm talking from experience. Yes their easily fixed, but not cheaply those pivot piece may not be always purchased at local hardware stores. So my advice is to know the brand name of the windows because more then likely you'll be purchasing then from a dealership company. This advice it's just for home owners, if you rent the landlord may not be as forthcoming in there repairs.

14:43. This is upsetting. That gorgeous old window is in great condition. Just needed some new glazing and interlocking or spring weatherstripping and it wouldn’t have been drafty or noisy anymore. Instead they replaced it with a cheap home center production window.

I have a kitchen crank window that has fogging, I would love to be part of an episode!

Or, the last house could have had the wood windows adjusted and weatherstripped, instead of tossed in favor of expensive plastic windows that can't be repaired, or helped when they become hard to open, and usually only vaguely mimic the architecture.

What about mullions, and muttons, and stiles, and rails, and pile, and fixed sashes, casement sashes, reglazing double pane and triple pane glass, vent tracks, and coil balances, and block and tackle balances and SDLs, and single strength glass, double strength glass, triple strength glass, this is all window stuff folks and they didn't teach you any of it! Lol then you have different types of seal failure, and energy coating failure, and collapsed glass
