The scaffolding is up now, and the walls are going up slowly but surely. The weather despite the pictures has been very very wet, I only tend to scale the scaffolding when it is dry, hence no wet photos.

The satellite dish in the top right of photo below used to be aimed over the top of the garage. It will need to be moved at some point otherwise it will be in a shower cubical, and whilst no expert, I can not see me getting any decent signal coverage there. It is on the list of jobs, not sure when it will be completed though.

In the photo below, the builders frame for the front window is in place now. This has raised a concern as this window is planned to be a boxed bay window and it is very low on the wall. During the initial planning discussions the roof line was dropped over the extension. When this was done, the front window was effectively slipped down the wall slightly rather than reducing the window height.

We are now considering our options, if possible we would like to raise the extension roof and effectively raise this window position by about 30 cm. We have yet to decide on a way forward. In the photo it is difficult to make out the height the window is from the ground, but its around 40 to 50 cm.
