managed to catch up with the Excellent Trim Carpenter this morning. he reports having finished fabrication of the sidelights for the new/old upper front window. frames for the storms and screens are complete; he is now moving on to painting them and having the glass cut at a supplier (whose name I didnt' recall) over by the airpark. double pane thermal glass will be an excellent measure against heat loss but those things aren't going to be light.
I asked him to give some thought to putting together a rack to hold whatever set isn't in immediate use. it will end up under the yet-to-be-built N side walkway but it might come in handy when he gets to the point of hauling these things down from his shop.
