Sacramento’s Sierra Curtis Neighborhood Association and the Sacramento Old City Assocation are offering two full-day workshops on the basic repair, maintenance, weatherization and restoration of historic windows in your home. A $20 fee will help defray costs and includes lunch; for more information or to register, go to sierra2.org or email the organizers.
