Hot Sash Window Summer is off to a good start. Last weekend, I posted a short Instagram Reel describing how to open a stuck sash window. While getting a lower sash open is quite a straightforward task, I thought a long-form YouTube video might make a good companion. Unfortunately, when I made the Reel, I had to skip a few details here and there to fit the tight timeline.
To open the stuck sash window, I used five tools:
- Hammer
- Utility Knife
- Hive Tool – You may substitute a rigid putty knife.
- Window Zipper
- Screwdriver (similar screwdriver)
Please be sure to read this post for a complete list of my favorite products and tools for window restoration.

I wrestled with YouTube all morning trying to get this video to show up in 4K. Now, I discover that the blog has clamped down on the resolution. So, you may want to click through and watch it directly on YouTube.
#HotSashWindowSummer Schedule
I’m reposting the schedule for anyone who did not see it last week. I may be adding to it in the coming weeks because I have some supplementary content in the works.
Just a reminder: Most of this content will be free, but if you become a Patreon Subscriber, there will be some special stuff just for you, including exclusive video content, printables, and more personalized help at the $5/month level. At the $10/month level, you’ll get all of that plus a free 20-minute virtual window restoration help session (via Zoom).
Note: Outside of Patreon, you can hire me for stand-alone virtual help sessions.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
