This is what we need. Have 1880 windows, love them. But care has been a struggle because no one near us seems to have craft skills/ knowledge.

How to questions:
#1 Storms, prep, caulk vs glaze
#2 Supplies hangers/metal arms
#3 HOW to align the weights/ropes so windows ACTUALLY align meeting rails. This is SO frustrating! So close, but not aligned when we tried to fix cords. Its US not the window.
#4 CLEANING how did they EVER clean these tilt out storm style windows completely inner/outside all sides?

What happened to you?
I COVID-moved to an old DIY "hobby house" where I'm still doing hobbies with a mask even though I can go outside without a mask. And I really enjoy your restoration/refurb videos. I have lots of doors and windows. ;-)
But you seem gone-ish. Hope things worked out.

If we can't find these answers soon. Modern windows may be only solution.
