Jessica has been plagued by moss in her windows since we got her. It gathers (unlike a rolling stone) between the two sliding windows on each side, and in the channel they slide in. Apart from making her look even more untidy, it allows the channels to stay damp therefore causing more damage.
So... (you know where this is going don't you) I decided to make use of this weekend's sunny weather and do do something about it! I started by removing the trim strip, taking out each of the 30 odd screws and replacing them with stainless self tappers. Once they were all changed, I bravely took them all out again and levered the window out....

Easy peasy! The window came out of the frame without a hitch, so all that was left was to clean off the putty (yup real old fashioned window putty), clean the windows and put it all together again!
