Well, the windows and doors are in - all of them! Some great, some not so great but ultimately, they are all going to be good and we're very happy. The install so far has been a bit of a hit and miss affair, not quite like any ordinary installation due to the slightly decrepit and bent nature of the house! The patio doors are cool, the front stable door is even better and the new dining room window makes it a very light room now. The problems that we have suffered revolve around the brickwork in the back of the
house not being perfectly level due to the movement the whole house has suffered from. The bedroom 3 window is half a bubble out on the spirit level yet it is the kitchen window that looks out of horizontal! This is also due to the fact there was no lintel above the kitchen window and a lot of the brickwork sank and sagged. To end it all we are currently having it all patched back up and the builder may try and use some skinny bricks to try and blend it all back in. Ultimately I think it is going to look weird regardless of
the remedies we try, but that is the nature of the beast I suppose?
