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.

I have a chap from  Architectural Bronze Casements coming to see us on Friday, I have been looking at Oak framed windows with Oak sashes but last week we were invited to view Oak frame house that has not long been completed and they had Bronze casements fitted into Oak frames and they looked fantastic. Not only do the bronze casements look great but they are going to need a lot less maintenance than the Oak sashes but they have all the benefits of high end double glazing but, unfortunately at a cost!

Welsh Oak are still planning on a 24th March delivery for the frame, however I still have not had confirmation from the council that the my brick choice has been approved – so 21 day and counting, I hope they get their fingers out.

In the meantime I am getting quotes for the heating, I was going to go real green and have a ground source heat pump but whilst there are some running  cost savings the initial outlay is just so high. Still not something I have to worry about right now but I will have to make a decision soon.
