Day 132 - Bedroom Windows

Here's the new high-level window in the master bedroom - the obscured glass will come later

 

And here are our lovely french windows. So excited about these and how nice they'll be in the summer.

 

I also took a pic from the outside looking back at the doors. I won't be able to do this again as we'll have a juliette balcony in front of the doors. Unfortunately we're not allowed to use the flat roof as a balcony as it overlooks next door's garden.

 

 
Here's the view from the french windows, pretty nice apart from the blue plastic on the flat roof!


And the view from Liam's room

Day 132 - We have ceilings!

 

 

These are a bit dark but we now have ceilings again upstairs!

 

And this neat collection of pipes is for the upstairs under-floor heating. At the moment it's in the middle of the new floor but hopefully it'll end up inside a cupboard

Day 132 - UFH & Plumbing

The underfloor heating is also complete in the new lounge

 



and the connections are in the storeroom

Day 131 - Windows are in!

 
 
 


Some still need to have the glass changed for obscure glass and the builders have asked to leave the french doors out for the moment to make things easier for them.

We're very pleased with the windows, they're very sleek, just what we wanted.

Day 127 - Underfloor Heating installation

While the windows are being fitted downstairs, the underfloor heating installation has started upstairs.

The shallow trays that will hold the pipes are being laid between the new batons that have been laid on the joists

 


Here's what it looks like from below

Day 127 - Busy, busy day

Today is a very busy day at the property. Henry & Sons are in fitting the windows downstairs, the plumber is laying the trays for the underfloor heating upstairs, the builders are starting on the flat roof over the lounge and we met with the architect to go through all the changes we've made so we can get some updated drawings - phew!

Day 127 - Windows being fitted

Exciting! - The windows are being fitted by Henry & Sons over the next 3 days

 
 

 

They seem to be fitting the frames in first (with a fair amount of pushing and shoving) 



And then will add the glass in afterwards...

Even the trickle vents don't look so bad.
