Weekly update 12.06.2016

This week, we've concentrated on completing the dining room window. The sashes were so under-weighted that we had to go and buy some extra scrap lead to melt down and cast make-weights.

The carcass was cleaned up, sanded and re-painted, then the pulley rebates opened up to take the new brass pulleys.

Meanwhile, new parting beads and staff beads were cut and painted.

The new pulleys arrived just in time and were promptly fitted.

New sash cords were attached to the weights and the additional lead weights threaded on...

...and the assembled weights inserted into the carcass.

Meanwhile, Jacqui has been preparing and painting the outside of the bathroom window frame...

...and the transom window.

Back to the skirting boards... the final, centre section of the skirting has been pre-painted and fitted under the radiator. This will just need a little filler to cover the mitred joints.

 And the dining room door is now fully painted and has been hung.
