Got the staining done last week and got the glazing done for the 2 windows I'm working on now. Next step is painting once the putty is skinned over. Here's a few shots of the Queen Anne sash and the florentine glass for the bathroom. Not pictured are the top sash for the bathroom and the bottom sash...

I have eight large panes of wavy glass in the basement just for the...

I heard that electricity back then was free for lights but for appliances it cost money, that's why they started making those screw socket to outlet adapters then when that c...
