Weeds,
Later today, I will try to post a step-by-step for Thomas's #3. We found that the toughest part was forming the window channels to both the openings and to the glass. We knew we were home-free after slowly and carefully developing a technique with the first window.
The reason I was hoping to do a telephone "step-by-step" with you (or, with Thomas) is because some of the parts are completely covered (not viewable) once everything is installed. We installed these parts about 4 years ago - the memory fails.
Words of advice (before thinking you understand what needs to be done):
- Before attempting to understand the instructions about how to do the install (and certainly before trying a dry fit), it is necessary to have ALL the parts on-hand. This includes not only the replacement parts from Jim Carter, etc, but also all the various parts that are not available as reproduction parts.
- Before starting the the final install, it is necessary to have all the parts cleaned, prepped, painted, and ready to install. For examples, the whiskers installed in the stainless vertical bars and the vertical bars installed on the sliding windows. (this might be obvious, but prepping all these parts took 5 times longer than I had predicted)
