A Job Deferred

I got started too late in the day for Charlie to help me with the kitchen floor, so I decided to work on another priority project. The master bathroom was in desperate need of a window. This window would have been finished ages ago, except that the original, top window-pane was broken. Someone (?) leaned the window up next to its rough-in and a strong wind knocked it over shattering the pane. I salvaged a matching piece of glass from a similar window and tried my hand at window glazing. Considering it was the first time I've ever done this, I think that I went well enough. Aesthetically, it could have been a little prettier. Smoothing the glazing compound at a perfect 45 degree angle was tricky, but I think that it'll work.

After I'd glazed the window, everything else was pretty easy. As a bonus, this window (salvaged from someplace in Mena, Arkansas) came with its original pull and lock. I'm guessing the window dates from 1900-1920. The wierd lighting in the picture below is from the plastic sheeting that was covering the rough-in.

The kitchen floor. So close, yet so far away.
