Com o telhado feito, falta apenas fazer umas janelas para que o interior fique protegido de chuva, sol, animais e correntes de ar. Duas no casebre e uma na cozinha. Decidi, por agora, colocar uma rede fina fixa que impede a entrada de insectos mas também o nosso acesso ao exterior, e uma portada interior de madeira.
Construção
Este projecto ficou a cargo do meu pai. Voltou a utilizar a madeira de encaixe que foi aplicada no duche para a portada, e outra mais tosca para a moldura e fixação da rede. Duas dobradiças e um trinco simples. Estou-lhe bastante agradecido, não só pelas janelas mas por me mostrar que estes trabalhos são relativamente fáceis.
Utilização
Apesar da madeira colocada na diagonal para travamento, na altura de abrir ou fechar a portada, é sempre necessário um ajuste com a outra mão. Na da cozinha, com tábuas mais brutas, nem com ajuste é possível fechar. Uso agora uma rolha para a manter fechada.
Quanto à rede, não tenho tido necessidade de aceder ao exterior mas apercebi-me que , infelizmente, é uma armadilha para moscas, abelhas, vespas e outros bichos que entram doutra forma e depois ficam ali a tentar sair.
Estas janelas são artesanais e considero-as muito bonitas. Sempre sonhei em ter janelas de madeira.
Melhorias
Neste inverno uma melhoria foi automaticamente desejada: calafetagem. Também já tive que substituir uma madeira onde assentava uma das dobradiças. Fora isso, só num futuro longícuo, substituí-las por janelas de madeira com vidro duplo. Quando houver dinheiro.
Custo
Muito baixo. Acho que ficou por conta do meu pai.
Sucesso
★★★★☆
With the roof made, it's only necessary to make a few windows so that the interior is protected from rain, sun, animals and drafts. Two in the hut and one in the kitchen. I decided, for now, to put a thin fixed net that prevents the entrance of insects but also our access to the outside, and a wooden inner cover.
Making
This project was taken care of by my father. He returned to using the wood of which was applied in the shower for the cover, and another more rough for the frame and fixation of the net. Two hinges and a simple latch. I am very grateful to you, not only for the windows but for showing me that these works are relatively easy.
Use
Although the wood is placed diagonally for locking, when opening or closing the cover, an adjustment with the other hand is always necessary. In the kitchen, with more raw boards, not even with adjustment, it is possible to close. I now use a cork stopper to keep it closed.
As for the net, I haven't missed to access outside but I realized that, unfortunately, it's a trap for flies, bees, wasps and other animals that enter in another way and then they stay there trying to get out.
These windows are handcrafted and I find them very beautiful. I always dreamed of having wooden windows.
Improvements
This winter an improvement was automatically desired: caulking. I also had to replace a wood where one of the hinges would sit. Other than that, only in a long-term future, replace them with double glazed wooden windows. When there is money.
Cost
Very cheap. I think my father took care of it.
