Next lucarne
Yesterday and some of today I finished clearing out the old concrete sill of the fourth lucarne. It also meant removing quite a bit of stone to get back to a point were I can start rebuilding to a level ready for the window sill.
This afternoon I started the same process on the last lucarne but noticed this rather scrappy piece of wood stuck over the door lintel below the window. Removing the wood revealed a very old and rotten door lintel. There seems little point in not sorting this problem out at the same time as the window sill above. If I try and doo it later I will most probably disturb the sill above removing the door lintel.
The photos show the problem, so I've braced the window above to prevent the side collapsing in when the door lintel is removed. Once the lintel is replaced I can rebuild the stone up to the correct height ready for the window sill.
