Old windows get damaged by the weather. Most often this is from the wind blowing on them constantly, and this project was to fix two pieces in a window caused by this very problem.
| Crack number one. A piece of heavily textured clear glass.
The lead is 10mm on three sides and 5.5mm on the fourth side. So, this fix was a little tricky. Fortunately the lead was in reasonable condition. |

|
| Crack number two. A piece of textured yellow glass.
The lead around this one was not in very good condition. I had to be careful not to treat it too roughly or it would break. That would mean I’d have to rebuild the window; not on my list of todos. |

|
| I could not get the right glass (no surprise there I am afraid). So I used a more modern version, with enough texture to fool the casual glance. |  |
|
| I could not find the right yellow glass, either. Again, just using something similar will not be noticed by anyone walking past the window. |  |
|
| The result is not too bad. I would have preferred an exact match with the glass, but it doesn’t notice too much and I have made a mental note to redo the entire window at some point anyway. |  |
