A very windy day all across the country, with gusts up to 50mph in Derby, which ruled out high-level work. There was a fair bit of rain over the weekend, leaving large puddles in the Courtyard (bearing in mind the downpipes are currently just dumping water onto the ground),

Good progress with installing the doors and windows in the Workshop and Utility Room. All 5 of the 910mm-square windows were fitted together with 2 of the 3 doors. That just leaves the first-floor door (at the top of the external staircase) and the bi-fold door between the Workshop and the Garage to be installed tomorrow. There’s a minor issue to be sorted out with the window sills.

Further progress with the electrical installation – mostly the lights in the Garages – and completion of the first of the buttresses (with a little work on the second buttress, before running out of ready-mixed mortar). Start of work on the plasterboard ceiling in the Utility Room.
