Weathertight!

Windows are here - 8 pallets and 5500 kgs all of which had to be lifted by hand and sorted into the individual rooms ahead of fitting. We started at 9am and finished at 5pm....I have had more fun days! This is only part of the order... we are due another 5 pallets yet !

Lovely aluminium clad timber windows painted in RAL5008 for those interested...

After several requests...this is what my building looks like at the moment. South elevation...

and North..

The windows are sorted into the individual rooms ready for install. Meanwhile we are kept busy by some odd jobs. We start dwanging the ceilings but stop due to risk of damage to my precious windows.
My wife starts sanding the glulam beam and my building partner Ian fits packers between the steel and the first floor level to support the windows. I start running cat 6 network cables to every room to build my network.

In the only floor we have that is concrete we install Under Floor Heating.


Builder is back to put concrete in over my underfloor heating. Say bye bye to the plastic pipes...
