We shall see clearly now the windows are coming....

After weeks...nay months.......of waiting we shall be receiving our new windows in a fortnights time. Our friend Tass has been booked to install and we went to look at them yesterday to see how they were progressing. Also the stained glass panel from Grandma's old windows has been completely overhauled, glass cleaned, new lead fitted and then encased in a double glazed unit ready to be fitted into our new front door which is also being made.

Our living room and front bedroom windows are being replaced with sash windows as the current ones were installed in the 1970's and although match the other three semi's don't really go with the Victorian architecture. We have a photo of the houses from the early 20th century showing that they all had sash windows so we thought we would return the property to its original look. Also being replaced are the dining room and rear bedroom windows, again all sash.

We also discovered why our windows have taken so long to make. Adam Clayton (U2) is having a property completely refurbished in London and he (or the builers) ordered 250 replacement sash windows. So - poor Five Sheds has had to wait. And for that reason shall not be buying their new album....ok, maybe thats not relevant as I don't buy them anyway! :)

So all hands to the pump, we have some organising to do before the windows arrive, scaffolding to erect next week and we can finally get some more work done in the house!
