Great little houses with a lot of history. Most likely people lived here under very harsch conditions🤠

[@arctic-rebel]

I agree they are great. There are still many people that live here all be it have had some upgrades but we still live in very harsh conditions.

Interesting watching you prepare the windows Simon. Yes, I recall the old putty and the oil smell…..funny how one remembers some things😊. That Summer Cabin is in such an exquisite setting. A picture post card for sure. Thank you. ❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪

[@arctic-rebel]

Yes Anne it is a wonderful place. I was in alot of old workshops when I was young and it is the smells I remember the most.

[@Annie6460]

@@arctic-rebel I understand that it’s a Summer Cabin, however, could one use it in Winter? Or is there not enough insulation to get through the harshness and bitter cold?❤️🇦🇺🇸🇪

Hi Simon! That brought back a lot of fixing windows memories.On our farm we had a three story barn & the south face was all windows which let light in for the chickens . Most were 9 pane & like those you did ,had the old wavy type glass. My dad was a pro at it & I learned from him how to do it. It was like your method. We fix them on rainy days & down time from field work.

[@arctic-rebel]

Thanks Robert, must have been a cool way to grow up. Take care

They good Simon 🤔good and cold DAMN! Old boy. 😅

[@arctic-rebel]

Getting warmer Brad

[@thenorthener6855]

Always a pleasure to see old cabins restored to working and habitable condtition again👍 There's way too many old buildings left to rot... Anyhoo..how are you guys doing? Today we have had some pretty warm temps with the scale just tipping over 30°C in the shade(86-87°F I believe). Way to warm for me, but a trip out with the boat cooled me down🥵 All the best to you, looking forward to the next one🙂

[@arctic-rebel]

We are all good thanks, my boat is not in yet but very soon. It is hot here. Not 30 but still hot for us frost backs right

[@pshehu7660]

Burrr!!! Too cold there, Simon. I miss glazing windows. Nice job

[@arctic-rebel]

Tell me about it, but it is getting warmer

[@marksparkplug7758]

Thanks Simon, good job.

[@arctic-rebel]

Thank you Mark.

[@HallnoutMhall]

Im slowly getting caught on your videos my friend. I remember that cabin and the beautiful scenery. I wouldn't have an argument to spend my last days in that area. Well done on the windows. Ive.tried my hand at glazing, still have a small tub here somewhere. Only problem is being a perfectionist at everything you do adds lots of unnecessary time. I know your exactly the same way but we will accept no less than perfect when putting our names on a project or job. Things here are the same last time we spoke. Still up in the air about surgery on the ole back. Just taking things one day at a time. I appreciate you sharing your projects and life my friend. Take care and God bless. 🙌 Be safe and we'll see you down the road..... Hello Sarah 👋

[@arctic-rebel]

Spending time on a project like that in the winter is no problem at all. I choose not to take on any work that would involve that during the summer which is why I can remove windows at the end of the year and tale them into the shop. Don't worry about being behind I know your busy and it is the season. Back surgery is life changing, I fear I will need it again before I am done though!. Thank you, take care my friend.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Simon- I remember the first time I tried to put the glazing putty in a window and I was just a bit frustrated. Learned quickly to get the putty pretty warm. Nobody around here does that anymore. I don’t know if there’s anybody who would know how to do it properly. Beautiful scenery. Take care and God bless

[@arctic-rebel]

Just another old skill being lost Paul, almost every house/villa/cabin is glazed this way here. In fact I do not know of any property I work on or near that has anything different. Be well my friend, Thank you.
