Finally the north wall is complete with its five new windows and weatherboard cover. Last month's blog covered the building work involved in the last two sections. At that time the painting still needed to be done and scaffolding not been removed because of that. This is a very recent picture of the finished look... pretty fantastic. Looks like it had always been there.
This is how the north wall looked a few years ago. The windows were kept high in order to catch as much hot air in the wall cavities as possible. This hot air was then to be drawn down into pipes in the concrete floor foundation. It was a very speculative science experiment that failed to work.
