They came on a flatbed truck with a huge crane: the whole section arrives in one piece, 5.3 metres long and weighing 680 kg. All this had to be lifted straight from the truck to where it&rsquo;s going to sit &ndash; since it&rsquo;s so big and heavy you can&rsquo;t really move it without a crane. In our case this required a crane with a 17-metre reach, and 5 guys to get it in place. And because it was to be fitted into an existing wall they couldn&rsquo;t just put it down, it had to be slotted into the wall from the side.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI spent the next hour or so gawping and taking photos, only reluctantly taking a break to get Ingrid ready to leave (brush teeth, brush hair, etc) and then take her to preschool. By the time I was back, the wall\/window\/door section was in place and the builders were busy adjusting it to get it level and flush with the wall.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe room now looks astounding. So light, so airy. I so look forward to having it ready for use.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPlaygroup with Adrian. Grocery shopping.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIngrid had somehow hurt her left big toe at preschool and couldn&rsquo;t walk on that foot, said it hurt when she bent the foot. Good thing we had the bike &ndash; cycling doesn&rsquo;t require her to put any weight on her toes or to bend them. Lots of crying during the afternoon since of course she wouldn&rsquo;t sit still and kept hurting the toe again. If it doesn&rsquo;t get better by tomorrow we&rsquo;ll make another trip to the local clinic.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAdrian also cried a lot; I think there must be more teeth on the way.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Glass_wall_1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecaption\">The temporary wall, about a month ago<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Glass_wall_2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecaption\">No wall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Glass_wall_3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecaption\">Lifting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Glass_wall_4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecaption\">More lifting<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Glass_wall_5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecaption\">Slotting in place<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imagecontainer\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/Glass_wall_6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"imagecaption\">The new wall<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woke at 6 because Anton the Builder started work on removing the temporary wall in our new living room.
