Week 19 - 6th Dec - Glass

With the glass going in this week we can start to keep out the cold a little, and hopefully our floor will dry out in time for tilling in the new year. We have a friend who is a director at Evander Glazing and Locks who has done us a great deal on the glass and the guys that are fitting it are excellent and are working through the cold snap all credit to them.

The carpenter has fitted the external doors so we can also get Evander to measure up for the door glass that we need.

Interestingly (or not maybe) the external doors require 14mm glazing units rather than the standard 24mm ones. As these are less thermally efficient the rest of the house has been compensated by Potton to still achieve the required U values.

The dryliners have surcome to the flu this week and so have our bricklayers, who we had booked in this week as the temperatures are due to rise towards the end of the week which had given us a 'window' to get the external brickwork done but best laid plans.......

With luck they will be back next week and we can get moving on the internals again and also screed the porch if the temperatures hold up.
