More Windows

I've been quite busy this week with Astronomy Club and our openings for the TCMF. Nevertheless I had one of my builders, Will, back to fix a problem with the 12 windows Scott and I put in. As a result of our rookieness, we forgot to take out the weather flap at the bottom of the window. Once we did that, we then had to adjust every window to ensure they were plumb and that the opening portions opened without scraping, which many were. A fiddly operation, and I still have a couple to correct. He are some windows with the flaps out.
Another seven windows and glass doors arrived today, including the front door. They were the remainder of the batch I had hoped would arrive before the Yule festival. I now have to find a couple of guys to help put them in, and in a couple of cases, carry upstairs. "Fun" times are ahead...

A little more progress over the last fortnight. I just have a couple of my regulars working on the balustrades and wiring the balustrades. It looks SO much better to remove the plywood boarding around the "house deck". Meanwhile we approacing the completion of the landscaping features with the build of the balustrade. I am pleased with the detail we came up with to hover a piece of flat steel over the balustrade of the "boat deck", which is already being called the "Titanic".

We have added more earth to the shelf to make room for the garden railway. Steep slope planted to grass seed to bind soil and covered in hessian to prevent erosian. Soil has been added to rear gardens behind shed and house. Some natives and herbs planted. Sprinklers added to upper middle and lower garden as well as shelf rim, which you can see in some of these photos. Wood has arrived ready for framing, which is yet to commence.
