George, Kath lives a long way away from your place. Maybe look for houses in the village with nice new windows and ask who they used? (I find Google Translate on the phone is a big help for this!)

Hi George as Jane says we are on one of the main flight paths here to Sofia and onward to the Middle East. Im not on board with Chemtrails but you will find cloud seeding does occur around us here in Vratsa province when there are approaching hail storms the big farms and Ministry of Agriculture will fire rockets to artificially raise the temperature of the clouds to protect the wheat and sunflowers.

To answer your question on windows, I just had my other house done in the village, 1x front door, 4x half glazed doors, 1x fully glazed door, 11x windows came to around £3k fitted, extra for boxing in and replastering internally. The old wooden frames are generally held in with 6 to 8" nails and a lot of damage will occur when they are removed depending on the structure of your house, hopefully your village house will have oak lintels. If you ask your village mayor there will generally be a reasonable Maestro in the village who can source and do this for you.

I was sad to read that they do weather manipulation in bulgaria too, although it seems to be all over now.
