That reminds me I've got to install screens! I bought screen kits two weeks ago but haven't gotten round to actually using them. I had velcro-fastened screens for a long time but the old velcro failed and the new one didn't stick to the window frame at all so it came off in the first summer.

Beautiful! You must be so proud of your work, and rightfully so. Your house is loving it.

And here's the next 3. I did manage to get the screens/storms off today. Tomorrow I'll remove the sashes and work on removing the glass from the lowers.

That is really looking nice. And a lot of windows, nice work. Can't wait to see the attics. I am sure you can't either.

I should be done with these 2 by then. These 2 have 22 lights each and are the last of the difficult ones.
