Ian phoned this afternoon to say that there was a problem with the positioning of the greenhouse. The greenhouse rafters should line up with the clearstory windows above them but somewhere along the line the slab and the windows have ended up 150mm out at one end and a bit less at the other. It's enough just to make it look uneven. Nick and I were both about this afternoon so we popped over to site to discuss adjustments. I got some good pics:
From left, Steve, Ian and Nick the joiner standing where the greenhouse will be. Our new sliding folding doors look great and match the Greensteps windows nicely. They are double glazed rather than triple and bi-fold doors tend to be a bit leaky but as the greenhouse will be on the outside of this whole opening they will be protected from the elements so we thought we could afford the lower spec in this respect here. Less glazing means they are lighter and therefore easier to operate.
Actual plaster on the walls. Wow!
The seamless guttering was going up today. This machine is in the back of a transit - you can see the black rolls of aluminium sheet which feed through the machine and come out in the profile you can see just above the yellow label.
How many men does it take to put up some guttering? Four apparently!
