Well here is the latest news this week. We ordered the UPVC windows about 10 days ago on a Monday morning. The firm came out and measured for the windows only (no floor level) and we decided upon the opening lights.
One week later I said the the plasterer painter that it would be another week or two before they were fixed. Lo and behold on the Monday teatime I had a call to say that they would fix all the windows the following day ie last Tuesday. They came about 9-00am and they were all fixed before lunchtime. BUT... without any glass in.
However yesterday when I went to the site before lunchtime all the glass was in the windows and the frames had been sealed to the rendering outside.
Yesterday (Wednesday) the firm were able to measure for the exterior and patio doors, because the floor levels had been drawn with the aid of a laser level.
So in a couple of weeks the door frames will be here, but perhaps all the floor tiling will not be done...
The window / door company very kindly came up with a very good offer. They say that they will 'dry' fix the outer doors, so that the building will be weather tight. They will then come back when needed and remove the doors and frames and then fix them permanently when the doorsteps are done.
A few more pictures with windows added today.
Cheers. Trev..
