More Cottage Works

 So the plank and muntin was installed a while ago. 

Back in February I went to install the new oak windowsills. These lovely mullion windows deserve this lovely Devon oak.



Some of the stone mullions still need to have the paint removed. The kitchen window has had plain float glued in. There is a desire by the owners to replace this with steel and lead glazed openers made to replicate the above. Handily, I know a budding blacksmith...

This handle was found under the said window, so they would also like to incorporate this, and similar. It's possible that this window had no glass originally and that this handle was part of a shutter.

The other extant window hardware is great to see and is obviously being preserved.

Not so old, but never seen a guilloche window stay before.

I knocked up this spindle and bannister for the top of the stairs.

Lime washed.

I was just thinking, I'll be sad to finish this job. "Could you provide a quote for all the upstairs doors?"......
