The Size of the Square Upstairs Bathroom Windows
Roughly speaking, the existing upstairs bathroom and bedroom5 windows look more than a metre square. Nick thinks maybe 1200 wide apertures. We cannot get access to the property today because the new slab is still wet.
Nick instead estimated by counting the number of insulation squares beneath each aperture – we think 12ish squares, so maybe 1200 wide. If that is the case, then good news as this suggests that the new windows can be two-pane. You’ll have to double click on the photos and try zooming in.


Progress Photos – Friday July 9th
Looking like something from war-torn Bosnia now. Windows all out and new slab being poured during site meeting.
Note new lobby roof has emerged.



The New Slab is Poured (July 19)
There’s 150mm of new slab in the lounge !! And also ver the ground floor.
It was delivered by two huge concrete mixer trucks and a separate wagon to pump it in. The put the pumping wagon into the drive first, then each of the giant wheelers reversed up to it, and unloaded into the pump truck – and then it went onwards into the floor void. There’s a black DPC in there underneath that.
It will be walk-on hard tomorrow and dried by Monday.

A Dribble of cement left over
