Lots of angles in the roof lantern. Basically a miniature hipped roof, with glazing bars instead of rafters.
A temporary structure and tent was placed over the roof lantern, as the work was happening in the middle of winter.
On installation day, a genie lift was used to raise the lantern up in two sections.
Over on to the scaffold tower.
Then slid along, and posted through the 'letterbox' in the tent structure. Over the hole and then the scaffold boards slid out and the lantern fixed down.
The tarpaulin battened back down, for work to continue, in the dry!
Did you engage glasiers for the glass or fit it yourself? Gav
ReplyDeleteEngaged a glazier and acted as his 'apprentice' lol.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got one! They don't much like timber framed panes here , especially if being puttied in . It is often easier for me to do the measure, get it cut and fit it myself. The last repair I did the painter wanted all the prep done before he would paint! Looks like that would have been an interesting job.
DeleteI usually glaze myself. I like putty glazing, but time was tight on this, and I needed to get the job finished.
DeleteI painted it also.
