Ft. Dalles, Sill Patch

Some of the interesting putty techniques that I ran across during the restoration of the sash.



I also found a lot of glazing rabbet modifications.


The only sill that I found to be rotten was this one on the weather side of the building. Pretty good for a 150 year old building that has been painted only twice in its lifetime. But The Dalles only gets about 14 inches of rain a year (Portland gets around 35-40 inches per year).



Unfortunately the rot went all the way into the beam below the sill.


This is the beam after I cleaned out all the rot.


The D-8 ripping down a salvage beam that Eric donated to the project.


The patch glued and screwed to the existing beam.



The patch hewed down and epoxied.
