Brick progress (part 3)

Things that make you go "hmmmm" - I never liked that song, but it's stuck in my head now.

The past week didn't go according to plan as apparently the rain on Tuesday blew out timing on all the guttering and roofing jobs. Scaffolding turned up on Monday, roof delivered over Tuesday/Wednesday, and the brickies were back on Thursday so at least the time wasn't wasted. With the heavy rain this weekend and forecast of more rain over the coming week, I can't see much work getting done.... we'll see.

I wasn't going to mention this, but I'm getting a bit fed up now. The windows in bedrooms 3 and 4 need to be swapped over as they've been placed in the wrong rooms (one of them has ComfortPlus glazing to keep the room cool in Summer). I've been trying to get this done for the past three weeks without any luck. Apparently the brickies are now supposed to swap them over, however, they've decided to brick in one of the windows and the flashing. So now, they have to rip that out and hopefully not do a dodgy job re-attaching the flashing after the window swap. How hard is it to follow simple instructions? Dear Builder, I don't ask for much, I'm polite, I'm reasonably patient.... just keep me happy with my simple requests and I'll stop hounding you. Fix the window. It's easy!

From the front it looks massive with the scaffolding up:
