yeah is the same place. Im doing both sides of all the secondary glazing. and both sides of the original sashes. Its a huge job. It will probably be the last time before she dies. Its one of those one off things. Got scaffolding up because its so complicated, its like a rubbiks cube and on top of that the original and secondary glasing units are broken!!! been on it 7 or 8 full days with 2 men so far!!! when this is all done, it will just be the standard inside and outside clean like you were talking about!
