Getting new hardwood window frames for Christina's greenhouse

The four opening sections and two fixed, centre sections of Christina's greenhouse had been bodged from softwood bits which were rotting, falling to bits and leaking
A friend of mine, Louis, has a business making hardwood windows for conservation projects. Louis had been borrowing a lovely white octagonal wood burner with fret worked paneled sides. I always told him I'd want it back if I ever got myself a narrowboat. As we already have three wood burners in our boats, we decided that we didn't need it.

We struck a deal where Louis would make us six frames from some hardwood he'd had lying around in exchange for some cash and the woodburner


Just need to 'glaze' them with perspex and fit new hinges and window stays.
