Stained Glass Window Repair

The latest project at the house was the removal of the large stained glass window that was in the front living room. It was almost eight feet across and a little over two feet tall.



Some friends of ours, Joe and Mitzi, came to town for the weekend a couple of weeks ago to play some golf and look at the stained glass window. They just happen to work on stained glass windows as a side hobby/business. After looking at it they decided it was something they thought they could help repair. We applied a lot of duct tape to both sides of the window to help stabilize it and then carefully removed it from it's frame. Parts of it were so loose it took little effort to get it out.



This past weekend I worked to get the frame out of the upper window and replace it with a piece of fiber board. I just need to go back and do some caulking around the edges to seal out the weather.



Hopefully in a few months we'll have a beautifully repaired window to put back in place.
