Started the final assembly of the window frame I have been constructing.  By the end of Wednesday I had completed the top rail, two sides and part of both lower corners.  When I finished the corners I was able to check the galss went in, which it did.   I finally finished and zinc primed the frame last thing on Friday.  A little bit of filler was needed to smooth out the joints and corners but it was actually not bad at all.  A coat of primer revealed a little bit of fettling still required.  The 5m of moquette from Eastgate trimmers turned up on Thursday, having been delivered next door a few days ago.  According to Ifor the trimmer, we now have enough to do the whole bus.  Next I drilled the screw holes in the new frame, sealed the welds and painted the rebate for the rubber with cream to match the other windows.  Final job was to apply the protective coat of grey to the rear surface over the sealer.  This will require a second coat, which will be the first job of next week.
