Today is day two of the electricians and day one (of five) of the joiners.
Our excellent carpenter / joiners are refurbishing all of our sash windows so that they:
* actually open
* have working locks
* are rot free
* are draft proof
* look smashing
They are starting with the sitting room bay which is enormous. It’s very weird to not have any windows in at all, I can see and hear the whole street and it’s right there.
After the windows are renewed we can actually clean them – no more seagull poo! – and get the wooden shutters in. Then we will be toasty and have some privacy.
