When we asked Phillipe to come to measure up for the living room windows he couldn't stop giggling when he saw the size of the openings - we weren't sure if it was nerves at the prospect of making the biggest windows in his experience. He hadn't been to visit us since measuring for the windows in the single storey section of the Roundhouse, when we were still in the process of building the vaste living area.
The frames were delivered and installed between the tall stone columns.
It was touch or go as to whether he could even accommodate the frames in his tiny workshop in Sucre and welding them on site was considered. But in the end he built them in his workshop and simply cut into his adobe door frame to get them out!
The frames were delivered and installed between the tall stone columns.
Ed spent many hours installing the glass.
It was so good to have the living room sealed off after so long exposed to the elements. We were now able to complete the installation of the concrete floor.
At the same time Ed installed the 'arrow slit' widows where the office would be on the mezzanine and the kitchen windows above the counter top.
