I've been umming and ahhing a window for the shed for a while. I always thought If I put a window in the shed, people would start gawping through the hole.
Some of you may remember I recently made a rusty planter
Ever since that I thought perhaps a small window might be o.k, cause someone would have to lean over the planters to see in.
I've been keeping an eye open ever since, waiting for a suitable piece of glass.
I found some on Sunday :lol:
Some nice leaded 30mm double glazed units ! For £6 I didn't mind that the lead didn't look quite how I wanted. I decided for extra privacy that I could add some window tint film to the inside. I remember my mates back in the day adding it to their cars and how it always use to peel at the edges. That's when I thought how convenient it'd be if I had a upvc window and easy to remove beads/panes of glass.
The tip wouldn't allow me to just take the glass out on their premises , for health and safety reasons, so I had to take the entire door then take back what I didn't need - there ain't gonna be much left to take back :lol:
This is the centre section of the door. If I ripped it down the middle I could reuse the frame
Cut the bottom of the door off and removed the aluminium strengthening bar's.
Put in an old saw blade and started cutting off the top and middle rail of the door. Something peculiar was happening cause the cut didn't look right. The top section of the door was 20mm out of square!!!!! They can't have even checked it !?
I cut the door in half, surprisingly it cut really well and didn't seem at all brittle.
I trimmed the ends off (had to push the frame square)
Just need to make a simple frame for both of them to sit in, also to add a little strength. The rest of the shed is softwood so I guess idigbo should be a cheap and good enough for this job.
Window tint should come tomorrow. Hopefully make a start on the frame tomorrow night.
