The first day, they dropped off the windows but couldn't start as they were having resource issues (injuries etc.) No worries though as it poured buckets all day long/ Payback for the nice sunny long weekend. Not a good day to be creating large openings in the house
But when they came back the next day, they worked at a frantic pace, installing all 4 upstairs windows in a day (some still needed to be finished). By Friday, they were all done. The windows looked great and really block out the noise from the outside ... making this house seem much more lonely.
The plaster around the windows however just crumbled away. More opportunity for Scott to become a master plasterer. 120 years does not do wonders for old plaster. I wonder if someone will be complaining about my plastering work in 2136? But I'm sure by then, robots will do all the work using lazers and carbon nano tubes and could re-plaster the house in 30 min anyway.
The only thing that I didn't realise is that the drapes were attached to the old frames and had to come down. That and the old windows didn't really have high visibility inside and out. That's no longer the case and I feel pretty exposed. Hello neighbours!
