My San Franciscan has 15 windows on the front. Each window has four pieces - two sliders that fit into the wall frame sections to allow the windows to move, and two front frames that sandwich the glass to the slider sections. So sixty pieces total that have to be trimmed, primed, sanded, and painted. I think I have almost all of them primed and now I'm moving on to trimming and sanding. I even got the first coat of paint on a few of them yesterday - I decided on a purple that was left over from recently painting my youngest daughter's bedroom as it goes perfectly with my other color choices.
I don't have pictures because everything still looks pretty much the same as it did last update, but hopefully as I get a few on them painted I can put them together and give them the leading and stained glass. Most old houses had rolled or cast plate glass windows, so I plan to do a bit of effect work for that too. I will probably do the windows as I get the frames put together just to break up the monotony of trim, sand, paint, repeat. I will take pictures during leading and staining, of course.
Anyway, that's what I got done yesterday. Exciting times ahead - I can feel it :)
