Our Oak window frames are now nearly ready for delivery so I went down to Bobs workshops to take a look. Things seem to be moving in the right direction again.

There was a lot of discussion as to why Welsh Oak Frame have designed the Oak frame in such a way that it is going to be difficult to finish the inside of the frame to an acceptable standard. .

I had our roofer Mark on hand to work with the installers from Cannon Glass and together they come up with a work around that will get us watertight and should also give us a decent looking roof.

We are now able to continue with tiling the rear part of the roof and now the bars are installed the glazers were able to take accurate measurements for the double glazed units, we should get the glass delivered in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

So yesterday it was back to it and I spent the morning with the Bob the joiner who I hope is going to manufacture our window frames to which we will fit the Bronze casements.  I needed to be clear on a couple if issues before we agreed terms. The main point being Vale show quite a heavy mullion in their drawings and we felt it was a bit to heavy for our house so I wanted to use a thinner frame and mullion so Bob is going to make up some samples early next week for approval.

I have also arranged scaffolding for erection by the weekend I am as I am still expecting Welsh Oak on site on Monday.

Really getting buzzed for Monday just hope I have everything in place.
