Rowan is off to the UK for a couple of months tomorrow, and he had promised to make our window frames before leaving, so that we can get a good second coat of plaster up tight to the frames before we go away too.
Rowan is off to the UK for a couple of months tomorrow, and he had promised to make our window frames before leaving, so that we can get a good second coat of plaster up tight to the frames before we go away too.
Just when we were wondering if Rowan would be able to make the frames in time, we got the call, and Dave went to pick up them up.
We fished out the roll of waterproof, breathable membrane we had stored since last year, and found these nice little cob insect houses just inside it. Probably wasp larvae. Rowan flicked them into the undergrowth.
The first windows go in - always a wonderful moment!
This is the little arched window. On the inside there is a diagonal strut that would have made this a very small square window, so I asked Rowan if he could construct an arch. He loves a challenge. It is in fact five tiny straight sections, but it looks arched to me. I'm hoping to get some stained glass in this one, to catch the morning light.
All the windows in and membraned - lovely psychedelic colours! Dave was building the ladder frames for the kitchen door, all ready for tomorrow's mini-bale-raising.
