Wall openings (almost) done

The kitchen windows are much bigger now - 1m x 1m
Today, Uli, Daniel and I had a go at getting the remaining wall openings done on the south side. I had already finished the balcony door, so what was left to be done was the house door and the two windows in the kitchen. The bathroom window that I started last week had to be finished too. We had started the front door yesterday (in the rain) and one side of the wall opening was already done. Uli broke out the other side, down to the OSB floor.

The front door is left, the balcony door is right
The weather was not exactly ideal today - a bit better than yesterday, but still plenty of rain. By 19:00 we had managed to get the lentils in and the lentil overheads filled on the kitchen windows, the bathroom windows and the front door. Tomorrow, it probably makes sense to keep going in the kitchen and bathroom, tying up the inside wall with the outside wall. There is also a tricky job to be done on the roof, taking the cap off the fire wall and setting a mortar band. I'll wait to see what the weather is like first.

Below is a photo of the new window in the west gable wall.
