After some other errands, I pulled up at the site just behind
the truck delivering some of the windows! What excellent timing.
These are the first few of the windows to arrive.

A closer view, showing the wooden frame around the windows.
I was not expecting this, but it is apparently standard practice
for windows being used in brick veneer construction.
The frame is on the inside of the windows, so I expect this will
be the window frame on the inside. The translucent windows on
the left are for privacy areas, such as toilets.
Another window being carried in, and also activity of brick layers
at work. The latter were having some problem with their cement mixer.
Along with brick walls comes insulation. This is the eastern wall,
the closest part being the computer room. The two windows are for
the garage, which is a double brick wall. Thus, there is no
window frame supplied.

After the delivery, the windows are safely out of the way in
the lounge room.
And in preparation for installation of the rain water bladder tomorrow,
the steel support beams for the Bondek have been placed in position
above the bladder. Robin (from Tanked Australia) wanted these
positioned before bladder installation, to avoid the possibility of
the beams being dropped onto, and damaging, the bladder.
