Can We Save These Old Shutters? - Ep 20

Restoring 140 Year Old Shutters in our Victorian House. We are fixing and restoring these old shutters. Have you ever wondered about the stories locked within the walls of old houses? We do, all the time.
In this video, we set out to uncover the hidden stories behind the charming wooden shutters that cover thirty windows of our victorian house. From the intricate craftsmanship to the curious quirks, we will leave no stone unturned in our quest to reveal the secrets locked within this beautiful Italianate Victorian, and we roll up our sleeves to repair and reinstall a set of shutters, breathing new life into this historic place we love.

As old as that home is, you are so lucky that the shutters and original trim is still there as well as functional. I am glad that this home has found you to preserve and restore it.

I think the reason they left all sections of the shutter is so that when the air conditioner was removed at the end of the season, the shutters could still be closed to keep the cold out and the heat inside the room.

Nice job restoring those old beauties!

I thought dowels also but it appears that glue alone has done the job. Hopefully that is the only resolution required.
