Window Woman


The window project that I didn't start the first summer and barely started last summer is now up and running again! Here is a picture from last summer when I was taking off the paint. (I know it is sideways--I don't have time to fix it! We are heading off for 4th of July with my father-in-law.) Yesterday I replaced three panes of glass and put in all the glazing putty. Oh, and before that I primed the window. Now I wait a week for the putty to cure and prime again and then I can paint it and replace it. Meanwhile, I will start on the next window (or two, if I can convince the husband that I should have more than two windows out of the house at a time!). It wasn't as easy as it looks on This Old House, but it wasn't as hard as I thought. Two years of not getting to it had made it turn into something much bigger than it was. (I find this happens to me a lot, you'd think I'd have learned this life lesson already!). So, about 1% of the window project is done! More pics when I actually paint and start stripping. Gotta go hit the holiday traffic! Happy fourth of July everyone from "The Window Woman."
