Wood and glass (part 1)

It was predominantly a carpentry day again, with strips added to the utility room and kitchen ceilings:


The rear windowsill was put back on, mortared back together, with what looks like a couple of new courses of blocks underneath it:


Spied in the site office this morning were the Velux windows for the kitchen roof:

I've no idea when that roofing is being done or what's holding it up.

Also today I went to see a man about a front door. We're a bit further behind than we should be with this, but hopefully the chain I set in motion today will bring us back on track.

With the windows arriving tomorrow, we managed to push back the arrival of the internal doors until Thursday. Once the window chaos is over there'll be more space to store them. Meanwhile, this evening, 265 is in siege mode, with every room's furniture stacked as far from the window as possible. I've a feeling there won't be much point restoring the rooms to full livable condition until the end of the project, since the disruptions will be coming thick and fast from here on in.
