clean it and do the wood filling. i could not find any youtube video
to show how to repair an old 2 hung window. any help would be very
much appreciated. the following are pictures of my windows which are

You just have to start taking them apart starrting with the stop
molding if it is actually holding in the window. I coulnt tell from
the pic. This looks like some windows I have seen where you remove the
rail the window slides on by pushing the window all the way down and
removing the screws from the top of the rail then slide the window up
to remove the screws on the bottom. You may not have to remove any
molding but new would certainly make it look better. I know picture is
worth a thousand words but some carefully chosen verbage would really
help describe what we are seeing here.
