As promised, the glass for the window was cut using the second hand glass we had. The cost was 10% of new glass. You really don't want to know what new glass would have cost. We did mange to get 5 panes, one to be used in the front window (later).
I managed to clean the sashes and the frame for the "new" window. Then we had rain. Saturday was a sunny day, but we have been invited to a "fairy party' for Jacqui. so no painting got done.
I also took out the sashes from the old window in the new kitchen. The idea was just to tidy up, but it ended in a complete paint strip and removing the glass for re puttying. Did I mention that my little sander's bearing has seized? Another little niggly task to keep me busy.
I also had a problem finding architraves around the 'new" window. I ended up buying a length (5.4m) that has got nearly the right profile. That will go on the outside.
