May I ask is he a local that you’ve been hiring to help with a lot of the heavy work and his machinery. He is such a hard worker. It’s heartening to see that you’ve have such wonderful neighbours.❤.

That is so disappointing and worrisome about the windows, it’s taken a long time to do what you’ve done and then having to wait for the windows and not knowing whether they will come through for you or not. So sorry this is happening to you, I wish you the best of luck in that they will come through for you.

I understand there are some older types of "paint" (some tinted emulsion anyway) that have a natural bond with plaster and don't coat it with a non-permeable surface like modern acrylic paints. Is that the type of solution you'll be using? Or are there "modern" wall coatings that work better now ? I'm always curious about restorations as they have to balance what is available now , what actually works with the original construction, and what is going to do the best job. You have such wonderful details on the facade with the arches, it's going to be so beautiful!

She has already told us not to paint anything without talking to her first as there are some right and wrongs when it comes to painting this sort of house.
