Most of the internal work is done now and the solar thermal panel is
in and functioning. We even have had warmth from it (about 5 units a
week, at this time of year). The glass for the dormer only arrived
this week and is still missing openers but we are really close to the
end now. Both the new shower rooms are now in use.

2009:11:25 Inside the library, the wall under the windows has been insulated. This does actually make a difference. |
|
|
2009:11:25 Frames for the new bay went in today. |
|
|
2009:11:25 The frames on the front bay are very spiffy. No glass yet though so the boards remain behind. |
|
|
2009:12:01 Glass in the front bay! |
|
|
2009:12:01 But not all of it - one of the panes was the wrong size |
|
|
2009:11:25 Library bookshelves coming along. Note the led lights on the beam in the middle. |
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|

|
|

|
|
2009:12:18 This lampshade came in kit form and took Arthur 5 hours to assemble. |
|
|
2009:11:25 Top floor landing - doors and walls done but not the stairs |
|
|
2009:11:25 All the landing still needs painting but the holes for the solar thermal plumbing have been made ready. |
|
|
2009:12:18 Fully painted landing, on a snowy morning |

2009:12:01 The solar panel can be seen now on the roof, as the rear scaffolding has gone at last |

|
2009:11:25 Dormer window now has most of the window frames in. |
|
|
2009:12:18 Glass in the new dormer at last! (But the trim is not complete, because the window openers are not available so there is still some protective roofing felt). |
|
|
2009:12:18 View from the new dormer |
|
|
