The Windows Take Shape









I almost forgot to show how the windows get their rounded effect. It is through the great effort and artist abilities of both Deirdre and Justin.
First, the "tenax" mesh is nailed to the wooden framing, then stuffed with loose straw, pulled taught, and pinned with baling wire made into a large "bobby-pin" for lack of a better description. Both sides are done, then the top is treated the same way.
On the one square-ish opening, Justin framed out the opening with OSB, covered it with "Typar" and metal lathe, to receive the plaster.
