The window was in horrible condition for years.
Repairs needed

Mark in the new tent

Only 86 more two by two windows left to go.
Windows moved into tent
Prepping for paint removal.
window stiles covered in plastic
The paint stripper was left on the window stiles, muntin and rails for 24 hours. When removed the lead paint easily came off and became inert when exposed to the stripper.
Ready for painting
A special window rack was built to enable work to be easier.

Plastic off fixed wooden window
This is the first of 86 two by two windows that will be rebuilt , painted and the glass reglazed and uv film applied.
Outside of the sunroom windows- before
Six window panes were missing and the house painter from 40 years ago sprayed paint over a majority of the rest. They all needed reglazing and the muntins (between the glass pieces) were disintegrating.
Windows were removed
Four casement windows removed.
Fixed windows yet to go
Next windows to take out will be the fixed windows on either side. The whole area is now covered in plastic.
