From Philly to a farm: The adventures of two urban transplants learning to live in a 150-year-old farmhouse in Germansville, PA.
Finally finished the window rebuild that I began a few weeks ago. The project was twice as difficult as I had expected -- shocker! -- but it was a great learning experience. The fit inside needs some adjustment, but otherwise it looks pretty good:

The trim has since been painted. The top span is actually a pressure treated 4 x 4 that had once been the post for a basketball net. I ran out of wood but stumbled on it sitting in a corner of the barn. Nothing like recycling! The glass in both panes had to be replaced; in the process of removing old glazing I cracked both pieces. Like I said, a good learning experience.
