I got brave this week and cut the opening for the window on the street (southern) side. Then we fitted the large frame Funny how difficult it is to merge a window that is supposed to be plumb with a wall that is not. Got there in the end. We fitted the sliding sashes and the cleats holding them in position. We also fitted the outside architraves and made scribers, painted them and even managed to fit them. Apart from some touch up paint work, all is done on this window. We have bought and fitted new architraves for the inside. I even got some new latches for both windows.
We checked the original architraves for the original eastern window. They are in a sad state, but for the sake of authenticity we decided to fill the holes and reuse them.
We have made a list to prioritize our next tasks. The main task will be to finish painting the new kitchen walls.
