Some windows installed
The last few days have seen very good progress. Caroline has spent most evenings over the last week painting the doors and windows for both gites. One door - two are on order- and nine windows. In the current weather they dry much better between coats in our house and then I can fit them finished.
Three windows upstairs have been fitted, but I had to stop because I ran out of mastic. All the windows and doors are fitted to the inside of the stonework and it uses quite a bit of mastic to fill any gaps. The addition of windows to the gites makes a real difference to the appearance. Instead of a stone building with holes it's now starting to look like a house. In the meantime Ian and I have finished the studwork for both ceilings upstairs, and all the external wall studding and sloping ceilings/walls. Once the lorry load of plasterboard and insulation arrives on Monday we should be able to start putting up some internal walls.
Tomorrow will be another mamouth shopping trip to buy more supplies; mastic, wood, metal studwork, screws ...
