Another door and two windows finished.
Whilst I've been working on the right hand side door and window I have also been progressing with the left hand door and window. The process has been very similar. I wanted to replace the old concrete lintel because it did not look safe as bits of concrete were crumbling and you could see old rusty pieces of ironwork had 'blown' the concrete. Also the door was very low, 190cm, and this was a good opportunity to raise the door height to a more standard 200cm.
I'm not terribly keen on the red brick, but having had the experience of rebuilding stonework I have decided to leave it alone. It's just too large a job. Most of it will be covered up by window shutters anyhow.
So, all my five upstairs windows now have new window sills at the correct height for the floor and are ready for the new oak window frames.
That's next weeks job, before the roofer comes, to build the window frames.
