I’m reviving this thread as I have bitten the bullet and started work on one of the two windows still needing their reveals “done”. It is the kitchen window and I am taking advantage on Mrs G’s absence for two weeks.
The window was boxed in with MDF, which I have prized from the sides and struggling to remove from the top.
Here are today’s “before” images.
There are plenty of voids to fill. I have bought insulating lime plater to produce a lasting finish. The area is small so I’m hoping results will look ok.
Any ideas for removing the window board without damaging it on top and without damaging the tiles? I really don’t want this to end up as a never ending project.
