Quick update on bathroom window and garden shed

Since the water pipes went in, there hasn't been all that much activity. The doors and windows are coming next week (hopefully) so it is mostly planning and calendar work that is going on at the moment. There are a lot of dependencies involved - some things depend on the concrete floor, which depends on the underfloor heating, which depends on the insulations, which depends on the doors and windows etc - it's a bit like packaging software. Anyhow, some smaller jobs that I got finished were the bathroom window (the sides of it). You may remember that we enlarged the window and moved it to the west. The reveals were not built up, however. Well, now they are - as you can see in the picture. I still have to finish the bottom of the window. It is currently too low, as it has to be 100cm underneath the lentils. The window itself is 97x97cm, so there should be enough room for installation.

Over the last weekend we finished a kind of a garden shed, which Uli wants to store garden related stuff like the lawnmower and some tools in. It was a cross between Ikea furniture building and Mechano. We probably would have finished it on Saturday had it not been for the weather. Yesterday (Sunday, 30th June) we did get it done. A photo is attached.

Other than that I was busy with cables again. I now have the two network cables that run to the television almost ready (I still need to get them in an empty installation duct and fix that to the wall). The satellite cable is cut to length. I had to take down the holder for the satellite dish as it was too far east, meaning it was pointing directly at a tree. I'll put it back up some evening this week - probably around the middle of the south roof, down near the eaves, where I can get at it easily enough with a ladder.
