Yesterday was a big big day on site!
The biggest residential window ever produced by "First Glass" was installed by "Monarch Windows" in our house. It weighed half a ton and needed nearly a dozen men to lift it.
It was a big gamble! The company has never produced a piece of this glass this size or this weight and they said it couldn't be done! Ciaran insisted that it could be done and he was willing to take the risk......luckily it all worked out and we now have the most beautiful back wall to the house - a glass wall leaning away from the gorgeous stone wall.
It took huge efforts from all the men on site. The electricians, carpenters, labourers and the glass company all worked together to achieve this amazing result which took over half a day!
It was nearly a "topping out" moment so all the workers celebrated with pizza's and coke sent down to site by Ciaran.
This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!
WOW! How beautiful!
