The original window- sorry i dont know why the picture image failed so badly. The Window was rotten and the top sash glass was ready to drop out the base of the sash.
Yesterday we installed 2 windows. 1 is a fixed frame where we reused the old leadlight. Pictures speak louder than words;-

Back for 2020
Finished Product, Uncategorized, Work in progressWell we have been back to work after the Christmas break – George and I since Jan 8th, and the rest of our staff on the 23rd.

here is hoping to a successful and happy 2020 for all.
