        Nice work Zigs :blue thumb: It looks a very tricky thing to repair.

                Ta Sheal, colour needs a bit of working on with the second coat :fingers crossed:

                    @Zigs... I can't believe that I missed this thread... the Victorian windows look absolutely fantastic and I'm not surprised that the client is well impressed.

                    @Fern4... Congratulations on obtaining the keys to your new home... will look forward to seeing some new photos :)
