Meanwhile, let us continue.
It has been cold, wet, and miserable. January and February are not pleasant to work around outside here. Luckily Pim and his father do not seem to mind too much, I have bad joints and I just can't work in these conditions, so besides a coat of paint in a small surface while wearing a Peruvian oversize pullover (what a wuss right?) I have done nothing of this project until the windows were in. By March however I have started gardening ;P
In the gallery below we pick up where we left in the last post:
- Sliding door beam concrete-d, bricks removed, edges redone. First time we can really see some of the garden from the house. In this case, a big pile of bricks :D
- Dining room window (where the shed door used to be) beam placed and concrete-d, bricks removed to widen, bricks added to make door into window, edges redone.
- Bit of wall where the radiator goes gets painted, green of course, and the radiator put up (it was in the way, this is one very large and 100 kg heavy motherfucker).
- Existing door widened, some bricks added between the pre-existing door and window for a stronger structure.
- Existing window narrowed and lowered to be as low as the kitchen counter.
- Outer windowsill stones (Belgian blue sandstone) placed. Some of these are very heavy... unlike other windowsills in the house, we had them delivered, but Pim and his dad installed them. I was able to help moving a couple ;P
- Threshold stones placed, same as above.
- After some delay, windows, door and sliding door/window? placed by the window guys today!
- And now PHEW!
And now, onto other kitchen things... walls, floor, insulation...
