Window Restoration College

  Over 6 million old growth wood window sashes end up in our landfills every year. 

  This madness is unnecessary because original windows can be made to be as or 

  more energy efficient than a replacement window and usually for less money.

  Original windows define being "green".

  Window Restoration College is a fun and intense, three-day, hands-on learning    

  experience. Students will learn cost-effective restoration of original, double-hung,

  wood windows. You will be part of a team restoring the original 150-year old

  windows in the historic Lamb-Munger Mansion in the Central Park National

  Historic District in Hannibal, Missouri.

  This is a tuition-based class with a limit of 12 students. You will be working side-

  by-side all three days with instructor Bob Yapp. Bob is nationally recognized as

  one of the top experts in window restoration and has restored over 5,000 windows

  in his 34-year career.

  This will be an intense, learn-by-doing opportunity. You will learn sash removal,

  safe paint & glass removal, epoxy wood repair, glazing putty application, weather

  stripping & sash installation. At the end of the three days you will know from

  beginning to end, how to completely restore a double-hung window. These units  

  will be more energy efficient than a replacement window and competitive in cost.

  Each student will receive a "Certificate of Completion".

  Homeowners, small contractors, preservation staff, preservation commission

  members, hp students and historic building owners will all benefit from this  

  hands-on, traditional training event. All skill levels are encouraged to sign up.

  Tuition for this three-day workshop is $300 and includes beverages and lunch.

  Space is limited to twelve students and pre-registration is required. Be sure to get

  your tuition & registration is as soon as possible as the classes fill up quickly.

  Inexpensive motels as well as bed & breakfast inns are available for out of town 

  students. For more information or to pre-register  email Bob via his contact form.
