After the doors come the windows

So these are the looks of the front of the house with windows and doors in place. The rejointing between stones is pretty crappy and needs to be retouched but it makes good general final impression.

This is how I made one of the windows upstairs. Notice the stones above, held with two rebar iron rods, bent and supported by nylon tape with a tightening crank, fixed to clamps on the beams above. Without this system the stone would naturally crumble on my head while trying to work at the window.



And the next pics are of the replacement of the small window at the back of the house, curiously below the road level. For safety I placed a cast iron, handmade antique iron here since is the one window that gives to the outside, the road, and will be eventually outside the fencing of the house. Outside and inside view, the brick masonry here has been particularly awful, call it "rustic elaborated".
