WOW!
Thanks!!
I am in the middle of a renovation and I am keeping the historic windows. Glad to have an affirmation that I am doing the right thing.
That’s fantastic! Music to a preservationists ears 🙂 Good luck with everything!
Thanks. It is such a lovely old house. I am happy ( most days) to bringing it back to life!
