Broken Glass

There has been quite a bit of progress since last week.

Except for the back screen door, all the trim and windows have been painted. The first floor of the porch and "Wizard of Oz" doors have also been painted, but in a contrasting color to the trim. While the trim is a cream color, the porch floor and cellar doors are a light sage green. It really works well with the trim color and the brick. The lumber for the new floor on the second floor porch has been delivered, so that should get installed soon, too.

Most of the broken or cracked window glass has been replaced. Meaning all the flat glass has been replaced. There is still some curved glass that needs help, along with some leaded glass. The leaded glass next to the front door may take a while - we're still "working" with our friends at the St Paul Pioneer Press on that. Let's just say they've been less than cooperative in fixing the 114-year-old leaded glass window that was broken by their paper last Labor Day...

However, we've received approval from the HPC for the new storm windows, so things are moving along!
