Yesterday's activities in this house included the installation of the final two stained glass panels of the living room windows. The day previous to that installation marked a feverish burst of activity to finalize the second of the two panels that were to be put in place to complete the exotic, colourful scene that now greets us every time we look into the room, or are seated there.

On Thursday the last few pieces of glass were put in place, completing the puzzlework of fitting the numbered pieces into place.  On Friday the soldering of the joints of the lead was completed.  And on Saturday the putty was mixed and then applied to both sides of the finished panel, to allow it to dry and harden into place awaiting inspection on Sunday.  Which was the day that the last two panels were installed.

The first panel had been started around mid-winter, and when it was completed, it was set aside to await the completion of the second panel, matching and facing the first.  And it was when the second of the two was finally done with that the work of installation was proceeded with.  The longest of our ladders set up in the living room to achieve that end.

And now, beauty gleams incandescent with bright colour from the entire set of living room windows.  Glowing and changing in intensity and shading in reaction to the light that streams behind it from the out-of-doors.
