First glass

The bottom window in Bed 2 is in.

They have finally started to put the first panes of glass in!  We couldn't understand why the glass was taking so long to arrive - the small panes got here a few weeks ago, but the large ones just kept not turning up.  It turns out all the large ones shattered in the Christchurch earthquake (our glass came from CHCH).  If they'd told us that, we would have been more understanding!  The large panes finally got here on Thursday, and we were told the glass was going in on Friday.  Naturally the wind started howling on Friday.  So only a few small panes went in.

The wind also ripped off some of the building paper around our en-suite.  But we were lucky not to suffer more damage, as it did cause chaos generally in town.  And lots of lambs died in the snow.

In other progress news, the builder has been putting in the soffit linings.  Now the painter (ie. Regan) just needs to paint them before the scaffolding comes down.  The laundry door has had to be pulled out and remanufactured as it was measured wrong and The Architect did not like the remedial measures offered.  That might put the lock-up stage back a bit too.
