Today Florent and his team are back on site for a couple of days to sort out some minor snagging issues. So I have got them to help me fit the large fixed window in the workshop. It is a fixed pane window that came from the old house I was building before the fire. It is large and heavy and took three of us to get it into place but it is now fitted and the workshop is virtually closed off. It still needs a door to be added at some stage, but that can be done much later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside they have been concreting the windowsills 20mm below the frames in preparation for me adding 23mm oak sills later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have also repaired the stonework over the front entrance gate that had been dislodged by a minor earthquake last year. I asked them to drill through the two parts of the damaged stone at an angle to insert 12mm threaded bar set in a special concrete compound to tie the two parts together. You can just see the four ends in the photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, one of the stones had cracked at the bicycle store where a new beam had been inserted (and swollen?). They chopped the beam out, pushed it back further into the store and reset it in mortar before repairing the external stonework. It is amazing what his team can do with stone, the repair is hardly noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile I plodded on with the first floor flooring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
