Day 40: The timber framed windows are in (however they are not in the correct positions - bit of obvious stupidity - maybe related to the empty beer bottles we cleaned up on site?). The 3 awning windows are meant to go TOGETHER, and the non-opening window is meant to go on the right, I would have thought it would be obvious???
The posts for the portico (to be bricked) are in, although not yet bolted into the concrete.
Both of the sliding doors to the alfresco have massive splits in the timber. Not happy, these will be replaced. The white stars (that make you not walk into the glass) are positioned quite low... not sure if the panels have been put in upsidedown? Will stop our dogs from walking into the glass doors... but wont stop humans!!!

Hey Ismail, thanks for the link to the blog. We're at the house every day, so we can pick up on errors as they happen. It's a bit frustrating, but it's such a huge investment that I cant bring myself not to go everyday. I'll check our your blog :) Are you going away for work or holiday?
ReplyDeleteHi A&E,
ReplyDeleteGotta watch those empties. Our brickies had a penchant for a liquid lunch. Bricks were never quite as straight after midday. Good luck and I agree - it takes a daily visit to keep on top of the issues. It either gets sorted now or sorted later. I know which I prefer!
