Double glazing success

We couldn't wait to get out of bed this morning and check if yesterday's efforts paid off.  What a great success it was!  The galley window was covered in condensation as usual, the side hatch was dry behind the pull across blind.  The other 4 windows were dry with the exception of one small spot where we can see the draft stop tape didn't quite reach the timber work at the top of the window so there's a little gap that will need attention.

As we sat and ate our breakfast we could actually look out a window without having to wipe it every 5 minutes to see anything.  Success!

Awesome idea, Mick! Cheap double glazing replacements are now a great activity for any DIY enthusiast.
