It takes a special talent

 

 

…to frame-in functioning window sashes and trim in these buildings that are hundreds of years old.  The windows have to be squared to work, but the window openings no longer are.  Note the bottom of this window frome.


 

This particular building we are living in, is in the historic register as having been built in the early 1600s.  A walk through the flat requires some balance to navigate the wavy floors.  And in that photo of the stairway I sent earlier, note the exposed original wooden beams.


 

400 years old.
