Quick update… We’ve been busy today, with the help of Monkey Man Tree Professor Ciaran!
Before:
After (helped a bit by the sun coming out!)
Not completely finished, still need to add some Oak details to cover the wooden beam between the door and side window and also the finishing touches around the door, but still a slight improvement I would say! 🙂 Seems we didn’t have great before shots from outside, but you get the picture!
The progress continues. Now we have completed the installation of new windows on the top floor! 🙂 We have just a new balcony door to go. We chose triple glazed windows from Elitfönster which are aluminium, these are grey outside and white inside. We chose these for a number of reasons, first of all they will keep the heat in and sound out. Also aluminum ages much better. We chose to not have all opening windows, some due to safety and others due to cost. Windows that open are significantly more expensive so we made sure that we strategically placed windows to allow for proper airflow.
Even though the finishing touches are not complete it has made a huge difference. Check it out in the pics below…
