Moving Window Frames Sideways

Unfortunately, only after the frame of the building opposite our flat was consructed and they started to fit the balcony windows, they noticed that the window frame wasn't centred .... so they had to cut away about 50 cm of brickwork on the left side, and add 50 cm of brickwork onto the right side !!!

At least on this window frame they cut back and stepped the new breeze blocks into the original ones, to give some rigidity and strength.

Moving up one floor to the work in progress ....

Here they didn't bother cutting steps into the old brickwork, instead just laying the new breeze blocks on top of each other ....

 .... and hoping that they will be held in place against the original brickwork with this metal tie and a nail !!!
