On Saturday 13th June we replaced two of our windows – the windows in the house aren’t really in that bad of a state, however the two top floor windows at the front didn’t close properly and we thought it a bit risky to leave them and the noise made it harder to sleep at night. There was, as we expected, a problem with replacing the windows; once the large plastic surround was taken out, we discovered why it had been there. Now all around our windows is a large opening into the cavity which we are going to board up and plaster and hopefully install some nice wooden sills.
