Aaron from Trillium Glass has cleaned up, painted, and covered the four stained glass windows in the vestibule and the one high on the south wall of the sanctuary. The glass has unobtrusive vents top and bottom to allow heat to escape when it builds up between the window and the covering, so the stained glass won't be further damaged. It should also help with keeping summer humidity out and warmth in in the winter. It buys us time to restore the stained glass, letting us work on those windows already removed in the sanctuary. I'm glad to know they won't be deteriorating while my focus is elsewhere.
Aaron reported a stampede of spiders as he worked, which made painting interesting. Glad he was the one doing it and not me -- strong startled reactions and screams aren't advisable when balancing on a ladder.
I will paint the remaining window sills white to match the ones he did.
Very happy to see progress, and to know the building's envelope is becoming more and more weather-tight! The windows look so much cleaner and prettier now, and I can't help but think they are pleased with their new summer look.
