Replacing Windows

The windows in Leif's Acorn Deck house built in 1972, were original when he bought it and all double paned. This week he is having another group of large windows replaced in renovated rooms, which are beautiful.

Recycling A Trellis

We have brought home three trellises removed from the roof at Old Farm in order to replace it. Two were trimmed to 5' x 7.5' closed rectangles to mount on the side of Leif's house - now most obvious with 40 large trees taken down. The large trellis has been cut to 3 pieces to blanket the garden shed.

Originally, I called a Nantucket builder for info to build high quality trellis parts; 1 1/4" ripped #1 grade cedar boards we squared and secured with 1 3/4" stainless nails at every overlap from behind. After power washing, we will paint them a French cream like color in Benjamin Moore Woodluxe solid stain. Nantucket Sconset house & trellises below:
