Finally the windows and doors have all arrived and been installed. This was a bit of a saga because the front door was actually "lost" for about a week and then when it was finally "found" by the company we ordered the door from, it turns out that the door had never been made to begin with so somebody somewhere in Sweden was busy manufacturing our front door in a great hurry.

| French doors and the preparation for a woodburning stove have replaced the windows |

| Before with chimney |
 |
| After with a breakfast bar |

| From the kitchen, one can see the bumps of the South Downs in the distance (not visible here) |
Next we had Lee Minter (the plasterer) come back and patch up around the new doors, which made a royal mess of the place again.
Finally Wayne returned some days later with the newly built and quickly delivered new front door.
We still have quite a bit left to do before Chalfonts is "finished"... sand off the dried plaster in the lounge and then paint the ceiling and walls, sand and then polyurethane (or something) the new wood floor, tile the front entryway and the other bathroom, carpet the rest of the downstairs and also the stairs, and then I don't even know what next.
