Unfortunately today was a washout as it rained heavily all day. The plan was to finish off the blockwork but that had to be postponed. The guys prepared the internal floor for the concrete.

Both the internal back rooms and the hallway have been covered with the damp-proof membrane after a layer of sand.

Engineering bricks have also been delivered to continue the foundation masonry.

The base of the shed was also broken up.
We also made a visit to the showroom of a window company.

The window on the left is made of uPVC whilst the one on the right is made of aluminium. These are casement windows.

| Photo 7 |
These are the same windows as seen in photo 6 but viewed from the inside. You can see that the aluminium frame is a lot slimmer and provides better sight-lines, but the uPVC has the softer looking ovolo (rounded) beading.

Photo 8 shows the same uPVC window as in photos 6 and 7 but with a more traditional style. The joins are mechanical butt joints rather than the mitred joint.
As the extension is going to have aluminium bi-fold and sliding doors, should the windows in the extension also complement the doors and be of aluminium and in a modern casement style? Or should the windows match the rest of the house and be of a sliding sash style? Its quite a dilemma.
