As part of my old building repair project, I asked one of my nephews, a couple of years ago, to design and put together some stained glass windows for my rock shop. He does stained glass as a hobby.

After a few false starts he got a design that I liked. Then he stalled again for almost a year.  My niece, his sister, asked  if I cared if she took over the project. I said, “go for it.” So she got busy with his design and her energy and  a few weeks ago the two of them brought the windows down and installed them into the front doors of my rock shop. 

The installation was not without problems and delays. We had a plate glass window shatter all over the floor and had to get another window cut. We had to board up that window until we could get the replacement glass cut and transported to the shop. That postponed the stained glass installation for a few days. But the windows are finally in and they are beautiful.

The doors face the east and I love to look at them from inside the shop early in the morning when the sky is clear and the sun is shining. They are gorgeous.

Check them out.
