Not a book, but I should write one.
The curved window saga continues.
It's been a year, but the windows produced some problems, then the house did, work was slowed, delayed... but I'm proud of the owners for trudging through some terrible things (not related to my project)!
Have I mentioned my tears? 😠Oh I had a lot of growing pains, learning to make large curved windows - curved in a way most windows aren't. (A lot of people have been confused when I said they're not arched, they're curved.) I actually tried to pass this work off, no luck, found an old sash-maker, he refused to make them because of ehat it would take. So, 4 of these are brand new Kenna Specials, but I'm not telling which.
Not all the glass is patched in yet; replacements were needed. That was another huge hurdle & delay for this job. AGW Artisan Glass Works is "wavy-ing" some curved panes for me.
The fun isn't over. Weighing in up to 30 pounds each, these still need to be installed, 30 feet up, with somewhat major framing/jamb work before that. Then curved trims.
I'll be on site soon enough.
And there's 6 more to do...
