Rotten bay window sill

Fixed bay window sill

We'll be back on this job next week, so I'll post some after pictures then.

Windows from the chapel at Richmond Hill.

Behind the paint, a whole new ecosystem was brewing.

Complicated base trim in the fan for a client who wanted an exposed brick chimney in their bedroom.

Custom millwork

Before and after subsill fabrication from salvaged heart pine. Made in Syd's now-famous Country Mill Shop. It's currently only famous with three people, but amongst us three, it's important.  

Before and after window restoration

Castlewood before and after

At the top of the image, you can see the condition this 1817 building was in when we started. Below, the happy new yellow paint, and one restored window.

Rotten windows!

Ben has his work cut out for him. This window only came with about half the frame intact. He's begun the process of cutting away the rotten components. They will be replaced with fir and antique pine (salvaged from a nearby house that was to be demolished).

Progress at Hilary Baker

The window covered in plywood with its fancy window dressings is rather poignant, don't you think?

Mo Karn

The access at Hilary Baker and 3 completely restored windows on the third floor. 

The scaffold at the rear is used by the masons to repoint the chimney. The chimneys were relined for wood fire use.

The basement is truly coming together. We hope to pour the concrete slab next week, which will require a pizza party for us.

Window repair at Monumental Church

As Thomas says: If Chris built windows in the 19th century this is how they would look.

Work and relaxing afterward

Window restoration that adds weatherproofing!

I am so proud of these windows!
