My dad did a beautiful job reglazing some of our old windows, but I'm afraid I haven't mastered the art. Our local glass shop does terrible work, so I'll be trying to master the technique. Your home is coming along beautifully!

Your simplicity and honesty about the true process of restoring a house is so refreshing to me. It does take time, tremendous amounts of time! We have restored (almost finished) our 1906 farmhouse out in Washington state and calculate that we have spent one hour per square inch. But, it is a true masterpiece when it is finished. <br /><br />So happy to have found a kindred spirit!<br />SarahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848983598725354155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-34703897463724394642015-11-19T08:53:32.817-05:002015-11-19T08:53:32.817-05:00Why did he decide to take off the moldings along t...Why did he decide to take off the moldings along the sides of the casing?<br />Are you hanging shutters so it wouldn't show anyway?Betsy Speerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228282974759764845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-54813537281030968312015-11-19T08:04:02.389-05:002015-11-19T08:04:02.389-05:00Beautiful, we also need to do that in the spring, ...Beautiful, we also need to do that in the spring, ugh!
