Door & Window Repair Workshop to be Held at Weyerhaeuser Museum in Little Falls
A workshop that teaches homeowners and property owners about wood door and window restoration will be hosted at the Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum in Little Falls on Saturday, April 4th.
Older homes can suffer from doors that are tight and drafty windows. Since traditional windows and doors were designed to be easily maintained, repaired or rebuilt, there is no reason that the originals in your house can’t be brought back to better-than-new condition and energy efficiency.
Join local building specialist, Eric Cheever, at The Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Memorial Museum in Little Falls on Saturday, April 4th, 9 a.m. to noon, for an informative, hands-on workshop covering the basics of wood door and window repair. Learn to identify and manage rotted wood and how to fix cracks and drafts. In the process, you will learn how properly maintained old wood doors and windows can be made as energy efficient as replacements. You will also get tips on the best methods for weatherization.
This workshop is a rich overview for anyone who cares for an older building with original doors and windows. General admission is $35. Little Falls HPC members are invited to attend at a discounted rate of $20.
