Our First Project and More
We’re well into our first project! 18 Windows from the enclosed porch of a cute cottage overlooking a lake in Perry, ME are in process. The windows pre-date the cottage - actually storm windows taken from another house - and have beautiful wavy glass. Below you can see the stages the first three windows have completed. We’ve begun finish painting and will post pictures when they’re done.

Glass, paint, and glazing were removed and sash sanded. After epoxy repairs and tightening up some loose joints, a 50/50 mix of Linseed Oil and Turpentine was applied to the exterior of the sash
Glass was cleaned and kept labeled. Sashes primed.

We’re officially a member of the Window Preservation Alliance and they sent me a t-shirt! They do wonderful work advocating for preservation by educating, encouraging, and organizing around the concept that restoring old windows is a good idea.
And this has nothing to do with windows but, wow, Eastport, ME is full of breathtaking views and we’re so happy to be here.
