I don’t want to just post “everything is going well” aspirational photos as there have been some struggles throughout as well. We’ve had some major winds and rains the last few days (easy 60mph gusts) so a lot of time has been making sure anything that could be blown away was weighted down. The force of the wind seems to be moving the glass in the frames so that some water is getting in the frames between the pane and frame and being forced out the back of it into the house. Not a massive amount but more than any of us would like. We even went with their fancy windows, wooden frames clad in marine coated aluminium, so I’m hoping the external cladding not being in place may be creating this flex and it’s not an issue with the windows. I’ve got in touch with the kit company (who make their own windows) to see what’s up and what they can do. It’s been rough but the weather gets significantly worse than that up here so needs to be better. The worst of the puddles around the door is because they haven’t been completely fitted yet as require the cladding and things..
Also, some more of nihil luxuriating..
