Ooops (anyone need a window?)


Weebles

1432 views

So going on holiday in the middle of your build is not ideal.  Best laid plans and all that.  Holiday booked a year previously.  With extended family so couldn't avoid it.  House build delayed by lots of things.  Resulting in our holiday being slap bang in the middle of the timber frame construction.

 

Reluctantly we left for northern France, asking the build team at MBC to send photos.  They didn't.  [But a friend did, so we knew it was all going up]

The problem is that we didn't see how much of the frame went up so had a lot of questions on our return.  

 

First day back and we spotted this.

Actually this is a photo from the second day but we didn't spot the problem until the internal walls were up.

The window isn't in the centre.

This is our stair well which will have stairs that go up, along and back.

It took me about 3 seconds to notice it once we got home from holiday and about 3 seconds to realise that OH wouldn't be able to stand it with the window off centre.

Completely our fault.  Should have spotted it on the MBC drawings about 6 months earlier.

The MBC crew were great.  We all set about solving the problem.  Moving the opening was the obvious one but not easy due to a structural vertical support being to the left of the opening.

 

You can see what we did in the next photo.

Sadly, it wasn't possible to change our window order (already in manufacture) so we ended up ordering a new window.......

 

Anyone need a window?

Was going to use it as a cold frame for the veg patch but it is a non opening window so won’t work.

Triple glazed might be overkill for a shed but it’s going on the market place......

What's the make up of a standard MBC panel?

 

Sorry, life / build taken over recently.  If you mean the cross section.  It is this:

What you see in the photos is the green airtight internal board and the blue external breather membrane on the other side.

Thanks. I see a lot of blue MBC panels on the forum and always wondered what was behind it.
