Richard was appreciative of the report on the windows installation in WORK IN PROGRESS ONE or, at least I think that was what he was saying - it was hard to read with all of the spelling mistakes and poor grammar in his comment.
Anyway, here's an update on the activities on day two.
The builder arrived at 8AM and finished off the installation of the kitchen French doors. The glazier arrived later and installed the tinted, double glazing which now gives us a good view across the deck to the water and, being tinted, cuts back on glare while still providing more light for the kitchen area (the old doors were made with solid panels in the lower half.

I helped the builder erect a small scaffold outside the study window.
He spent some time replacing a rotted sill and prepping the window surrounds. The next step will be in pulling out the existing sashed window and installing the (glazed) window. He will use the existing architrave surrounds on the windows and doors to minimise the 'new' look.
When this is done, maybe tomorrow morning, he can start on replacing the two bedroom windows.
Another update tomorrow!
LOOK OUT - HERE COMES TOMORROW

I remember installing a sashed window for Sue to maintain the character of the house in Petone!
Yes, well done. We would have done the same if we had found, ip here where we live, the correct wooden and original replacement.
Um, correct me if I'm wrong - you don't live in that house anymore do you?
Great to see what's happening 'ip' there. Looking forward to the next installment.
And a bit of care with the spelling.
And shorter posts.
This series could put Netflix out of business.
Yes, but to be fair, Robert's cutting and pasting is pretty good too.
