Phill, sorry for the tardy reply, I got the hydraulics working by bypassing the controller, have had the time to work on the drives yet.

I’ve had a restoration disaster, had my sashes ready to install, was bringing them into the house and stumbled over the cat, stupid cat. :problem: well I broke the glass in one of the ashes :doh: , the saddest part, it was wavy glass. I am now in an instant, two weeks behind on this window.

I feel your pain. A split second can undo hours of work.

I hope Kitty adapts to her new home. 8-)

Well two weeks later finally got my first window of the summer window season finished. At this rates will be lucky to get two windows done.

Failed to mention, you can see the difference between modern glass (top sash) and wavy (bottom sash)

Gezzz, been almost a month since my last post! I haven’t been slacking, honest, well ok. We did go antiquing a few weekends ago out of town. I have been busy though on old home restoration. Just nothing worthy of a picture. I have started to prime all my trim in the bathroom project. Maybe an update picture by the weekend for those who are interested.

More progress in the up stairs bathroom project, I got the floor tiles done the other day, if all goes well I should have the grouting done by the end of the day.

After the grouting it’s on to tiling the walls.and paper, install the tub, sink and high tank toilet. Upper management is looking toward to a hot soak so the pressure is on.

It looks terrific, Ron, and with plenty of natural light. Your choice of floor tile is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing more photos of your progress on this project.
