This
new accoya window with heritage double glazing going into Ian's new
bathroom. Bought a new 4kg bale of oakum today, so soaked it in Natural
Hydraulic Lime 3.5 slurry, bedded the window and packed it into the
gaps, topping off with NHL3.5 mortar pointing with the tuck trowel. Wet
hessian to cover; lime mortar needs to dry slowly. Proper job!

Oakum and lime mortar, gap-filling the breathable way.

Ass installed
So, the first of May was celebrated by a trip to Norwich, to install the heraldic ass.
It will be painted later, but it's great to see it in it's place. It looks suitably otherworldly, to fit in with the Tudor knot garden theme, a la Hampton Court.
