It can rain when there's a westerly now...

We weren't going to bother replacing the house's 3 remaining single glazed windows.  The dining room window looks into the conservatory - so not much weather to contend with.  Husband did a great job this summer with sander on a stick, followed by paint brush on a stick to extend the life of the bathroom window.
The first time we had heavy rain with a westerly wind, we decided we did need to replace the cloakroom window as it wasn't keeping the rain outside!
Replaced yesterday with a simple uPVC job.
Whilst it was being fitted, we established that the 2 roof panes that are misbehaving in the conservatory can potentially be fixed (1 leaks & 1 has condensation trapped inside) - and that I need to learn to love sliding doors for the living room as opposed to lovely timber bifolds.
Husband's been doing the decidedly unpleasant job today of hoovering up rodent poo from loft above the garage as an electrician might be coming along soon to add a much needed light fitting to the garage - we're coping with a lantern & a desk lamp at the moment.
