Here are all the new repro parts and numbers of everything I worked on.

I'm still missing a larger version of Ted's part # Cel-9 and a red window with silver print of part # Cel-10. Im sure more will pop up, but I think I got a good start!

Yep, I'm going to need a few of the blue windows. Everyone has done such beautiful work with reproducing windows. Restoring has certainly become easier because of your efforts. Thank you.

Good Day Everyone!

Got to say I'm really jazzed today! I finally got to a project I've been wanting to do for a couple of years! So I had to share!

I bought a house sometime ago off ebay that had the double "windoor"(great name from Tom) :) My original double windoor was all but shredded. You can see it in the first pic of the original. I carefully removed the remnants of the old window and measured them. I saved the old shreds...its hard to throw away something so rare. :)
Then I screen printed the new ones, and finally today was able to install and fix my house!! I still have a couple other windows to install before its all done, but this little house has been sitting on my desk accept for at Christmas time for 3 years...now he can finally join his friends! :)

I also printed 4 other never before available windows on this sheet. I'll be sending them off to Pete, and he will be making them available to the public. I added in a shot of all the windows drying, and my repaired house.

Cheers!
-Brian

Thanks John, I love being able to utilize what I do for a living with one of my hobbies. Wish I was setup a little better for it though, I run out of drying space and can only do limited runs at a time. All the windows you see are sitting on a conveyor belt meant for t-shirts. I need drying racks for this type of printing so bad. One of these days...
