Old windows

Die paint, die!!

I'm not talking about Windows 95. Back in the real world, Melissa and I are preparing some hundred-year-old windows from a house in the Mount Baker neighborhood for priming. Once primed we can then begin to frame the greenhouse. See Melissa and I hard at work yesterday. Exciting! We're almost finished prepping the dozen or so windows. We purchased our primer today, so we're nearly there.

Like Windows 95, the prep work for painting is slow and low tech. We have to scrape and sand as much loose and flaking paint off as possible. This will give the new primer and paint coats a better surface to adhere to, and give the greenhouse a longer lease on life in this soggy region.

So the greenhouse is coming along. It is on schedule to be ready for our baby plants by the end of February. As always, look for further updates on the blog. Ciao!
