Ooops
Don't worry, it's not serious.
On Thursday our builder friend arrived to start work on the Velux windows. We knew that it would be one day's work per window. He was still with us at 6.45pm on Thursday evening.
This was the state of play on Friday morning.
Luckily he had a better day and had completed window number two by 4pm.
Over lunch on Thursday we reminded him that we would be going away for a few days next week, but not to worry, we could leave him a key.
Oh no. He wanted to finish it all before the rain comes on Monday.
I was amazed actually at his faith in Mr Meteo's predictions. As you all know we have very little faith in his accuracy and have virutally given up even looking more than a few hours ahead these days. Our friend, however had seen that rain was forecast for Monday and that was that.
He returned this morning at what seemed like first light (we are not early risers these days and as it was the third day on the trot we were feeling a little jaded). He has been working away all day and finished in the middle of the afternoon.
It was just as well because as he finished his cuppa and slipped our rather large cheque into his back pocket this happened.........
I don't think he had seen THAT coming on Mr Meteo!!!

Hi Sue
The new windows look great, we have some slightly larger ones on our UK house, one on our kitchen extension the other in our study.
You get some lovely early morning light through ours.
Yours seem to have gone in nice and quickly, well planned!
Steve
