The front of the house windows were totally different from the rest of the road as you can see, so they HAD to go.
But the back had all the original Victorian box sashes - Bib really, really, really wanted to keep them, but it was not financially viable - her heart said keep but her head said change.
Below are some of the original windows that have now gone. Bib has kept some of the weights, they are so heavy, even the lighter ones !!!
This window below, which was above the old loo, escaped, so we're keeping the original (you can imagine how happy Bib is!!!)
One of the new windows is in.
Now to the front of the house. Before the windows can be installed, the joists have to be extended so the new bays can go in.
Very strange seeing your inside floor joists on the outside !!!
Starting to rebuild the bay.
Looking down from the first floor through the new bays before they put the new roof on.
More or less finished.
Finished - yay !!!
Well except for the very top window - see how nicely it fits ....... NOT.
That will be changed soon, and from the inside you can see they put a square window in.
Looking good Bev x
