Painting Double-hung Windows

When painting windows, start by raising the lower (inner) sash as high as it will go, then lower the upper sash all the way down. Next paint the lower half of the upper sash. Then slide each sash back into normal position (the upper one at the top and the lower one at the bottom), leaving each one open an inch or two top and bottom. Paint the rest of the upper and lower sashes, first coating the narrow strips between the panes of glass, then outerr frame of each sash. Also paint the top edge, the frame around the the window is painted next, again from top to bottom. The windowsill is done last.
