The guys from the frame company have been out and are spending the next few days taking each window out, removing all the tape and seals and replacing them, drilling extra drainage holes (or just drilling some as some frames had none) and then sealing around it all with some silicone. He was saying if water finds a way through this he’d be impressed!
My days this week were going deeper on a couple of the drainage ditches in the field while things were dry and cutting all the ingoes out of the fire board for around the workshop windows and doors when they’ve completed the work there. It’s lovely to be able to clear or finish piles that have been lying around for months, just that plasterboard for the loft and the wee internal wall that has to happen in the workshop and then all the floors are clear!
The outside rendering has also started although seems like quite the process. The boards are taped and filled, then they skim it, then push a mesh through that skim, then once that’s cured it gets a primer on the top before the final white coat of silicone render goes on, phew..
Also, you can really see the difference between the wood on the workshop that just went up, and the back of the house which has been exposed for a few months.
@vpCogworks that’s really kind of you thank you, still can’t quite believe we managed to find this spot!
