I am probably very repetitive, but it is not like I have been working on something else (well, in the restoration sense) lately.
Yes, another two windows have been completed and they are now back in their own place.
When putting them back, I have noticed that the window frames are a bit torn, but it could have been that I have painted them in the wrong time of the year, or that the weather has not been very nice in these months. Still, they should have survived that, but I will have to paint them a bit more later on.
In particolar, one of this dormer window has gone through a major renovation, during our roof renovation. Possibly covered by 100 year old metal sheet, the status was very bad and we didn't have the chance to save it. Or better, we could have done some effort, but I don't think that the result would have been good.

ReplyDeleteTack Erika - när vi hittade det vi blev omedelbart förälskade, även om vi visste ingenting om hur man ta hand om ett hus, speciellt ett gammalt!
ReplyDeleteGood one,I think you should do the work for roof first because when roof is completed so you can do any further work like window and sliding doors.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, there's something so fairytale like about dormer windows, beautiful job!
