The finish work on the windows is rather intricate. Those perfect chalking beads you see on various things…that guy probably did it. It is pretty impressive to see him lay a perfect seal. I think he has done a few of them. The video is terrible, but I wanted to highlight that double window and let you hear Katie’s description. The stone piece reaching across the entire length was broken and the windows were holding it up rather than the stone securing the windows. We embedded two 5x5x1/4 angled steel above and below into the left and right sides, and then drilled the stone and bolted it to the steel. Everything is covered by the wooden trim, never to be seen again-but, once again, it is sound enough to last another 150 years.
