Interesting idea for a thread Maxi. I am sure GlasgowKen will be a contributor to this one.

Look forward to seeing more of your photos.

the dundasvale flat's had so many dampness problem's(the council not the gha) took out the original window's and damaged the concreate lintel's at the front of the window frame,
then the new frame's leaked into the seal's and the house's went damp, so that's why the seal's are being covered up with the overcladding and the new window's where put in, not cheap i tell ya!


no livingroom window, they would not let me out on the cradle tho
block 22(next to the piping college) a couple of month's ago te cradle's are now down.

They made a bloody mess of my garden  
Alright it wasn't exactly showcase to start with  

Och if the GHA just stay well away now, or at least listen to individual tennents instead of treating us like one big ever so grateful camp, i'll be happy  


Anyway here's a couple of shots of the flats at Blairdardie getting cladding work done.
