Week two - the windows to our hearts

Look. At. Those.

No, no, really - really, look.

LOOK.

Our beautiful, perfect, gorgeous windows have arrived.

Here's a reminder of what they used to look like:

Here's the new kitchen window from inside:

Here's the sitting room window:

 And our favourite (sssh, don't tell the others) - the library window:

I KNOW!  It's EPIC!

What's that?  A close up?  WHY OF COURSE!

*deep breath*

Stand back.  Be in awe.  Be struck by that awe.

And, and - look at these lovely frosted windows for the bathroom:

Oh, and I'm assured that the window-man is coming back to trim the marshmallows that he's used to stick the window frames in with.  So that's good.

Phew.  Now, there is other news this week.

The rubbishy dry-stone wall downstairs I blogged about last week has gone:

And the ceiling in the bike store has also gone, revealing some particularly yukky looking insulation:

The electricity has been re-connected, so we have light:

And we have a new ceiling under the stairs:

The kitchen now has walls:

And the eaves storage cupboards are now reality!

And these ones come with a free builder!

Unfortunately the upstairs bedrooms also come with their own wasp nests.  

The wasps will now be kept extra warm and toasty because we've acquired some pretty serious insulation in the roof space:

And, the upstairs bathroom now has a wall!

In less positive news, Ilyian tells us that there are some instabilities in the brick work outside.

That's Rob and Joao, looking concerned.

Now I realise it's a bit tricky to see what the problem is here.  So I've helpfully photo-shopped it:

Hmm.  So that's two piles of bricks, both of which look slightly less stable than if I'd attempted to put them together.  

Well, let's not dwell on that but instead finish on another bit of window indulgence.

You're welcome.
