The Glass is In!

I'd jumped the gun on claiming to be a glazier. I'd also underestimated the time required to remove the old glass safely and get the rebate (glass surround) cleaned up and ready to fit the new glass. When this was done, fitting the actual glass was easy. Lynne did the putty part of the job (very well) and I did the glass handling and sprig insertion. What a team! So now we have a closed off window (after one night without glass in place).

This morning, we primed the remaining bare wood on the west wall and fascia board, then spent the afternoon putting the top coat (clotted cream colour) onto the north wall. Tomorrow we will complete the first coat on the north wall. It is a lot faster to paint when the temperature is below 15C and the sun is not shining directly on the surface being worked on. I'll get up early enough tomorrow to confirm that this is true.
