That picture is correct, the sashes are gone and I'm sitting on the window sill seven feet off the ground. This is the same place I was last fall, scraping paint off the kitchen windows. Most of the larger surfaces I can get with the drill but all the little sides to the jambs must be done tediously with a scraper. The sashes will need glazed but at least those can be done on a workbench.
The biggest improvement was using a scrap block of wood and the hammer to drive the frame back together. The gaps between all the pieces didn't look like much but altogether the frame tightened up by a half inch. No wonder there was such a draft in winter! And the sash on the left side fits better now too.
Just a bit more scraping to do and then I can start sanding. Oh what fun!
