It may look as if I am about to defenestrate myself but no. I am actually in the middle of painting the wooden kitchen window frame, having removed the aluminium window thingy itself. A tricky task, requiring the purchase of a heavier screwdriver to cope with the rusty screws and a nifty bit of handling so as not to drop the blessed thing twenty feet into the stairwell. In the U K, windowmen generally use a hardwood frame which requires little or no maintenance. But in Cyprus any old wood will do, which is consequently subject to weathering thereby causing me more work!
Have you consulted our associate director of the Department of Gadgets and Fenestration? you could blue sky some ideas.
