Casting window cills on-site.
Just musing the practicalities of this...
On a long walk around the village I noticed that most properties built over a 100 year time span have rough cast concrete window cills and this includes new heritage houses that were build around 10 years ago under the regime of a very strict conservation officer. The rough cast cills are typically 1 brick high with a shallow gradient for water run off and are painted in the same colour as the window frame.
Would this type of wind
I cast a load of coping stones to match a Yorkstone using a mould made from kitchen cabinet offcuts.
Mix is 4 parts washed plastering sand, 1 part white cement and 1/2 lime. Half filled the mould, laid in some cut up rendering mesh (glass fibre coarse mesh) and then topped up. Vibrate it with the SDS drill and left to set.
all look good and tbh 1/10th of the price of York stone...!!
