Wow, the win­dows are all fin­ished now (well nearly). The first worker to arrive this morn­ing was the guy to do the lead water­proof­ing, who arrived before 8am. He did an excel­lent job, and the lead flash­ing looks really nice. I won­der whether he is still classed as a plumber?

Plumber (n.) One who works in lead; esp., one who fur­nishes, fits, and repairs lead, iron, or glass pipes, and other appar­atus for the con­vey­ance of water, gas, or drain­age in build­ings.

The win­dow fit­ters fin­ished off the bay win­dow today includ­ing all fit­ting all the trim and mak­ing good round the out­side of the frame. The only thing left to do now is the plas­ter­ing inside and the ren­der­ing out­side.
Unfor­tu­nately the builder can­not come back to com­plete that until Tues­day, which is NOT what we were told when book­ing the appoint­ment for the fit­ting. In fact we had to wait until this time (it should have been the end of May ori­gin­ally) in order to fit in with the builder!
We took some pic­tures before, dur­ing, and after the work. I’ll post them in the gal­lery when I get a chance.
