Aint it great when you finally get to a project, get it all done, happy with it, post pictures and somebody tells you where you messed up?

Well at least it will be easy to put the screen in when you make the new ones.....

I know what Marc is talking about-but I did copy an actual example. The trouble with cruising photos is who knows what kind of bonehead carpentry one is copying.

After Marc's comment, I did some more research and decided my original reference was more of an oddball than I thought.  So, I redid my eaves in a more conventional design. Thanks Marc for the observation.

I also added the screens behind the vent holes though it breaks my heart all those critters that won't find a warm home now. Probably for the best as the roof is beginning to leak.

A few years back Jerry Lawrence ("Younger") sent me some nice fine nylon screen. Thanks Jerry, I finally used some of it! 

Chuck,   Thats right give Marc all the credit .....I guess Me and Marty's comments don't count 

Actually your and Marty's comments are what I followed regarding the screens. Thanks for all comments!

Chuck,    I'm glad my 2 cents counted

I preferred it as it was . Does that make me an oddball ?

Always were. Always will be. But we love you anyway. -- ssuR

I'd forgotten about the screen, Chuck. Glad you could use it.

I made a bit of progress over the holiday. I mostly finished the lower sash of my window and stuck it in the frame for a few checkpics. When finished, this sash will be set back to represent a double hung window. For reference, the width of the window across the frame is 3 inches. I tested a couple of new materials for the putty, but found that Squadron White putty still has the best grain and crumblyness for old glass putty. Still needs a few glazing points installed.

Holy shipwreck!  Nails, glazing, construction & crackle all look ... well, fairly adequate.  -- Dallas

This is just depressing 

I've got to admit - it just kind of makes me feel inadequate! - and that's just what I really need ... yet another area in which to feel inadequate!

Looking great Chuck!
Been wondering about such things.
How are you applying the putty?
Are you coloring it, if so before or after?

I'm glad there is no visible putty on cast iron windows!...... or is there?.......

Okay Chuck, you found where I live and you've taken photo's to prove it.

Seriously, this is mind blowing, just stunning!
