sunroom window

so michele wanted to remove the storm window in the sunroom (it covered the window that connects the living room to the sunroom). our thought was now that we are insulated, etc that we want this interior window open all the time to connect the two rooms better. and of course it turned out to be yet another undertaking. the edging was riped out to find nothing but a hole around the window, the ledge removed to find newspaper insulation (dated June 22, 1958 Chicago Tribune) and Ace Hardware ruler/stir sticks as levelers, plus the storm window broke during removal - bad glass.

anyhoo. the window is finished, below are the before and after pics and some of the randomness found during the renovation.
