I dunno about these newer homes (mine is from 1825) and my windows don't even have sash weights! or cables or pulleys or anything to make you thing the weights ended up in a WWII scrap drive!

I agree with the windows being an addition. It sounds like a great idea!

Also the flooring is consistent with what I know. There is a high grade chestnut floor down on the first floor in my house and a much lower grade, but still wide plank chestnut, floor upstairs. Some doofus covered the first floor floorboard with thin oak strips probably around the turn of the last century when they installed the cast iron steam radiators! The high grade floors, better ceilings and fancier doors are all for showing off in the public spaces of the house. The private spaces were much simpler

I will post pix on a website as the house is now for sale...
