If you need any wood, windows, doors or reclamation I would definitely recommend you visit Lochpark Challenge at the Chanory Industrial Estate in Elgin.
Having bought an 8ft 2in window, we needed to make the big hole in the wall even bigger! Kev worked out a way to remove an extra 5 inches which would create a space big enough for the window and supporting uprights.
Having decided on a plan of attack Kev used his super-duper grinder. He nearly got more than he bargained for when grinding at the top, the sparks bounced off the beam and burned the top of his head.
The grinder made short work of the job and the hole was expanded.
Kev used the reclaimed wood to build a frame and uprights.
When we saw that it took 5 men to carry the window in it became more than apparent that we (as in me and him!) were never going to be able to put the window in on our own. A phone call to Jo and Brian and bodies were recruited.
A special thanks has to go to Brian, Si and Chris for their manpower. Within 10 minutes the window was lifted, turned and in place.
Wow!!! We have a fitted window and ....
the makings of a viewing area.
So what looked like a day where not much would happen we went to having a hole in the wall to a viewing area.
