We have now fitted all the windows and the door, mortared all but 3 windows in place making them watertight, and even fitted the door handle, so we can now lock people out (or in?)! We have received all the window furniture as well but still need to install it.
Bumpy & Jaimin spent a freezing cold Saturday mortaring the south face eaves, sealing the gap from the weather. Bumpy did the mortaring while Jaimin mixed mortar in the barrow, and in between mixes, mortared under the window drip sills and around the edges of the windows.
The gable end frames needed to be built, but before fitting them they need to be Tyvek'd ans insulation fitted above them in the rafter space. Because of the tight space they are going in to, they had to be built in 2 halves, which will be fitted and then joined in the middle. Despite some tricky maths, we got their in the end, with Bumpy building the frames and Jaimin fitting the insulation.

We received wiring cable for the 13A, 5A (lighting) and 30A circuits. and last night we managed to run a "cable tray" of sarking boards in the small triangle space at the edge of the trusses, along which we managed to run the 13A kitchen and 1st floor ring mains.
