Sorry guys, not a huge update on Maude today - we went camping! It felt really good to get some time in the dirt and the fresh air. SUCH a gorgeous view with sounds of the creek in the background :)
But we got home pretty early on Sunday, so we started on Maude's next window :) If you recall, this was the replacement window we found on Ebay. Time to get it reglazed!
Unlike several of Maude's original windows, this one had an actual glass pane (as opposed to plexiglass or nothing LOL!) We tried our best to remove it so we could reuse the glass.

Shit. LOL! This window had a slightly different black adhesive to keep the pane in place - it was SUUUUPER sticky! It didn't want to let go of the glass, even with a heat gun. *sigh* Oh well!
You can see in the above photo that we had spare glass on hand, except that it's not wide enough for this window! We made a run to True Value, Home Depot and Lowe's. NONE of them carried glass wide enough (short just 1.5"!!). So we finished cleaning/wire-wheeling the frame and taped on some plastic sheeting - sorry Maude, lookin' trashy again! - to seal her back up until we can get the new pane put in.
Yesterday we found a place that has wider glass and they were able to cut it to size for us, for about 4x the cost of the panes we got for the smaller windows ;) Oh well! It seems to be the way things go with Maude LOL!
