Caboose Window Seat Done
My husband John Plocher just finished creating the window seat for WP668, our 1916 backyard caboose. We bought WP668 in January 2006. WP668 has my desk in one bay window, facing our house across the garden. Princess Birdie is my 13-year-old pet cockatiel. She has one cage in the kitchen and the other next to my desk in WP668.
The bay behind my desk features a lovely custom three piece stained glass window created for us by Vince Taylor. The new window seat is deep enough so that the space below can store the window screen inserts John made last year. The seat will eventually have a cushion.
