This old Gardening shed has been moved so many times, that you would need both hands to count them.
Everytime we move it we get smarter. This last time we used my Dad's business truck, that has a crane on the back. We let it do most of the lifting, and assembling it this time was quite fast as well. We got it done before dark & all ordered Pizza to celebrate.

When my girlfriends and I went on a roadtrip to Abbotsford last December for the Christmas Vintage Market, we also made a stop to a Salvage place in Cloverdale, BC. We were on a mission for ladders, and windows. As luck would have it they were having a sale, and it helps to bring cash to barter. So I couldn't resist buying my Lead pane window right then and there. I had a couple ideas of what I would use it for, but used it all this time as a decoration in our open concept dining area.

Which I quite liked, but I ultimately had to use it somewhere useful.
So I decided to use it on my Gardening shed, that needed some character
and natural light inside. So my husband nicely offered to put it in for
me. I was quite surprised how fast he did it. On a Sunday
afternoon, and it was ready for me to paint before dinner. I was on the other side of the yard painting the girl's playhouse and already had the paint out. I love
projects that are fast and almost instantly gratifying.

He had to use Tinsnips to cut through the exterior. Framed it inside for the window to fit and to be attached.

We had some wood kicking around the garage from other projects. So we used the scraps to achieve the look that we wanted. Sometimes it pays to hang onto chunks of wood that are otherwise firewood.
Now that we liked the window so much we are going to do some decorative pieces on the corners, and around the door.
