Rot!

Strange things happened when I poked a screwdriver into a soft spot in the lounge window frame. A lot of poking later (with assistance of the vacuum cleaner, not a lot of the two tenon joints between the bottom rail and two jams around the central fixed casement.

Only sensible solution: new window frame.

My pragmatic solution: oddles of preservative (done); woodhardener (tomorrow); two part resin filler in small dollops (Sunday); Weathershield paint (next week or GKW). Weather permitting.

My dentist passed in his car and I asked if I could borrow his device for stuffing filling into cavities.
