One Window done

This Saturday I set out to referb the windows and the two openings on the east end of the copula.
The windows are a mess. They frame of the window is rotten and it has been fulled with sealer.

each window was riveted into the frame, then a separate piece of sheet metal was added and then the 

window was screwed to the plate.

I started with grinding the rivets and removing them.

After the rivets were knocked in , I started cleaning up the window.

The cleaning took a while.

Then I started to clean and repair the frame.

There were very messy

This picture shows the gap the existed and that was filled with caulk.

I decided to weld a filler piece into the frame then I went to work on the front and filled the gap.

After I welded the gap closed, I used a bit of the filler to get a smooth and even and waterproof look.

Once sanded, I primed and reassembled the window.

I will put the rest of the bolts in tonight.

Three more to go!

Window Two!
