Michael works for a program called
Uncommon Good that teaches
students about green energy. His home is located in
Upland, California,
a
beautiful neighborhood with mature trees in a rural setting. He had just purchased a century-old home and wanted to preserve its look. Being a principal member of Uncommon Good, he was using the house to teach others how to go green. He called my repair service to repair the problem of the loose glass window panes in a door.
This post lists the nine steps to caulking the windows in an old pane glass door.
Step 1: Fig.1 shows
DAP Kwik Seal caulking that will be used to keep the windows from rattling. This is a tube caulking that will need to be squeezed to get the caulking out of the tube and onto the window and wood edge.
Step 2: Fig.2 shows the squeezing of caulking from a tube.

Step 3: Fig.3 shows the
caulking tube tip must be inserted into the
window's groove. Apply enough to get between the glass pane and the wooden door groove, later it will be pushed into the window crack with a finger, or clean rag.

Step 4: Fig.4 through
fig.8 shows how the caulking was applied to each side of each window pane. For this job the caulking needed to be applied completely around the window pane. Once the caulking had dried the window was completely secured and stopped rattling.

Step 5: Fig.9 shows the completed window now
glazed and
caulked. Now Michael can slam his door without worrying about breaking the glass in his patio door.
