Windows

Anne leaving the workshop ready to fix windows!

Windows in the Salon which are a few panes of glass short of a full complement

La Cote has a number of windows which have lost some of their panes of glass, but as it was only used in the summer and there are shutters no-one really worried too much in the past.  As we are now living in the house year-round we are in the process of trying to eliminate as many draughts as possible and it makes sense to replace missing glass and putty.  It is a delicate process as we are attempting to retain as much of the historic fabric as possible which making the house more comfortable to live in.  Some of the panes of glass are original crown glass and there is even one with an enigmatic piece of graffiti etched into it.
