The windows are in the country! Having made their way across the sea from Lithuania. Let's hope they fit - it's a long way to send them back. We are assembling muscle for next week. Lee the plasterer came this week to talk about battens and beading and other esoteric plastery matters. He can start about October 1st - on the render which will define the look of the outside of the house.

The result of all this sudden activity is that R gets himself released from the tyranny of The Wall for a couple of weeks, while he gets wooden battens on the outside of the walls and lightweight render board (Heraklith) fixed to the battens, for Lee to plaster on top of. Look out for exciting window-going-in-photos. The doors are coming at the same time as the windows so then we'll have a weather-tight house.
