Before starting the repairs and painting of the Dormers and windows they look ok from a distance.
However up close as you can see the windows are in bad shape with rotten wood and cracking caulk.
Close up of the rotten window.
Some of the windows survive when taking them out.....some don't...so replacing the majority with old original glass is ideal.
Repaired wood and windows cut to size. Difficult because the old window panes are not perfect. Each has a slight different size.
Caulking is difficult and time consuming.
All set for priming.
