Week Twenty - gable end windows

Week Twenty.

We have decided to get some triangular shaped windows put into the oak timbers at the gable end of our building.  We feel that it will be an important source of natural light and it would be a shame to cover it over in larch cladding.  Dan gave me the measurements required and I made two strong cardboard templates.  I ordered the double glazed units from Salisbury Glass - one pane in a satin opaque and the other plain glass as it will give a view into next doors garden so we felt it needed to be obscure glass. 

I went to collect them today only to be found that they had been cut according to the length and height measurements given - so rectangular not triangular!  It was clear on the order form that they needed to be cut according to the templates supplied, so it is not my problem but it was very annoying to find that I had made a wasted journey and they will now not be ready until well into the New Year....
