Here is the first window fitted this morning. Fitted like a glove too. Slightly tricky because of the the need to cut and drill steel angle irons all round each opening, mainly because of the eventual rain-screen aluminium panels the go on the outsides of the walls. The external cills project for 80mm so that they shed rainwater well clear of the eventual 70mm cladding.
It looks a bit odd at this stage because of the protective white tape on the vulnerable grey surfaces.
All windows will be fitted by the end of Monday. The doors are under way, after which we shall be fully airtight. Then we can get on with plaster-boarding and plastering.
Below are joiners Trevor, left, and Jamie fitting the top pane of bedroom 2's window. The lower pane is an opener for building regulations fire escape purposes.
