uPVC has left the building...

I've waited 11 years for this.

Can't wait until we can do the same.

Sadly it's on hold at the moment as I'm looking for a new job (lots of minor shit adding up at current job means I want to leave and some days I think about "rage quitting") and I don't want to commit the amount of money it's going to take until I've got my feet under the table at a new job.

Yeah, I know what you mean Peter. Fully empathise.

Excellent to see them removed. Only 85% of UK housing stock to go!

What a beautiful moment!
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Indeed.

The frame went in today. We need this installed because the plasterer is coming on Friday and he'll roughcast up against this one window in the gable. Its temporarily glazed with ply-wood...

The rest of the windows are at least 3 weeks off finishing. It's the 'linseed' effect. :roll:

Been thinking more about your post, Peter. This comment may yet come back to bite me. But, having a project like this helps me manage stresses of the working day. The assumption that I'm adding value to the house - that its not lost money - also helps.

Maybe go for it, and your present job might not seem so bad?

(Apologies to all for the off topic ness of this)

Might do that but the cash cushion we currently have isn't a bad place to be in case I decide I need to quit. For stress relief purposes I'm planning on getting back to working on a model boat that I put to one side while we moved house which is at least a "free" activity.

Certainly more bang for your buck than period restoration work.

Well you do get some very nice woodworking tools but I'm not looking forward to the rigging.
