Q The wooden storm windows that came with our 1930s house are rotting and coming apart, to the point the glass is nearly falling out. How practical is it to build new ones? I have access to woodworking tools and a shop, and have time to do the work.
Are nailed corners for the frames sturdy enough to hold the storms together, or would I have to go with something more secure? Can I split
2-by-4s to use for the wood?

more.. light! Or lux, if you want to get technical. The idea is to have this light shining where your eyes can see it, but don’t go staring directly into it, that hurts. Wit
