At least they found a reason for the water coming in.
I'm not at all surprised!

Yeah feels like a bit of an oversight on their part doesn’t it? Really glad I stuck with the “please come out and fix this” emails!
It’s agricultural show season here which has slowed things down a bit as folk are helping out on family farms, but the external render first coat is still continuing. The Norscot window guys left yesterday as well so I’m hoping that’s everything pretty weathertight now. Thinking this weekend will be ingoes and joint filling in the workshop as well as getting some colour painted in the main room before I have to worry about tiles being down and things.
Also, still haven’t started on my new paint job for the steamroller.. no time for any more projects at the minute..

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!
