Hi,
Ive got an old house... with a large bow window.. On the inside I have
a long window sill that hugs the bow window- it is long and wide-
approx 4 feet wide... I am painting the sill and window but noticed
some holes on ths sill maybe 5 holes.. Was these a reson for these
holes? some type of ventilation? They are the size of a screw? I was
just wondering if this was standard practice for older homes- that is
to drill hole in the sill?? Thanks
KOS



The house is 80-years-old. Maybe somebody had something attached to the
sill at one time, like a shelf for flowers or something.
