  • Exterior of the house, window in question...
  • This is the side of the window that shows the largest concentration of the "blue stuff" mostly in the corner [not seen in this shot], but is even visible to the edge of the sill.
  • Another view of the left corner.
  • View on the left side of the window of the piece that is broken [prevents the window from staying up without being propped - newer version of a sash weight?].

You can see it is out of its track or case and leaning out toward the right
  • Another view of this same piece that is broken.
  • We have noticed this blue fluff on the latch and above.
  • You can see whatever this stuff is, how it collects in drifts on the inside.  We have not seen this stuff on the outside of the windows.

What is this mysterious blue powder that keeps collecting on the inside of our window and sill?

Our home was built in 1989 and all of the windows are original. We purchased the house in 2010 and it had the original builder grade trim on all the windows and sills. This window was a ...»
little cruddy on the inside when we bought the house, but we chalked it up to the fact that the house sat vacant for several months after foreclosure. But we had the trim replaced and it is a custom made casement. We're stumped as to the source and the identity of this mysterious blue powder. We've simply been vacuuming it up and wiping the window to remove it periodically.

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Garage Door TRACKS

Following a Home repair website that shows greasing the wheels of a Garage Door, but shows do NOT Grease the track! Because I don't have a CLUE what I am doing, I spray silicone grease ...»
in all wheels, on the chain and where the chain meets the gears, though I have alo been spraying the inside of the tracks, so the wheels don't squeek. Is this really bad, or just not necesary and I should simply wipe all silicone grease off the tracks?? Garage door ALWAYS squeeks, even after spraying lubricant excessively.
