Glossing

I've made the most of a couple of dry days, and started gloss painting the new window frames. Yesterday, I put the first coat on the hall, kitchen, utility, and en suite windows; today I re-coated the hall windows, and first-coated one of the master bedroom's, the dressing-room, and the three study windows. The last study window was unpleasant: the path in front of the house steps down before that window, so the feet of the ladder are half a metre lower—and then the door to the old coal-cellar is below the window, so when you're painting the window it's effectively on the second floor (third storey). I don't like ladders.

Anyway, they're done, at least: I need to put a second coat on most of them, but they'll be a bit protected, and certainly look better.

Meanwhile, work on the kitchen is progressing nicely. The table is all but gone, and there's a number of acro supports propping up the old external wall (which divided kitchen from hall), as this is gradually removed. The wall with the built-in cooker has gone, as has the fridge housing. All the kitchen units are out (currently sitting on the drive), and there's a growing pile of building stones under the kitchen window.

And a lot of dust.
