Not in the sense of hawt, obviously.
Just fucking hot.
So despite a predicted high of 28°C we’d made the plan to try and get the south window in yesterday. Allowing a good chunk of day for us to do it, we planned to arrive early to try and avoid the worst of the sun, and then spend the day getting the window in – which meant cutting the hole, wrapping that side of the building, flashing, putting the window in, then fixing it in.
Being a Sunday and not wanting to be deeply obnoxious, we didn’t want to get there really early.
So, off we went – and realized that the sun hits that side of the house full on well before 9. Probably before 8.
So, uh, that didn’t work.
But we carried on regardless – having to take breaks to hide in the shade every few minutes because it’s f’ckin hot cutting and hammering in the sun.
So just as a reminder…
…
and now:
It’s getting there.
But yesterday was slow. Damn slow. It was so hot it took us nearly 8 hours to put in the window and wrap that side, most of which was us sitting in the shade going ‘fuck, it’s hot’.
I was not built for this kind of weather.
Anyhow, we’re going to start wrapping the North side today, so off I jolly well trot.
