Window glazing 
We just moved into a 50 year old house and all the windows need major repair scraping, painting, and
glazing. They are 9 pane glasses. We were planning on repairing them but are unable to find information on glazing. Do you have any information? Should we bother going to all the work, or would it be better (and cheaper) to opt for replacement windows?

Re: Window glazing 
Deciding to save the windows or replace them depends on a couple things. Your windows with 9 panes are probably a style which being old is not easily replaced and may well compliment your house's looks. On the other hand, they will not be as tight and being single pane, not as energy efficient. Sometimes aesthetics outweigh efficiency. As for deglazing, it is not too hard. You should pick out all the old hard glazing and then put in new. It is sold in tubes (like caulking) which make installing it easier. Squeeze it in and then use a putty knife to wipe it flat into anise triangular bead.
