well not oh near enough <,,><&>6 yes we should take it to there that's about <,> five one two is a <,> tight isn't it mm <,,><&>4 <&>2:00 voc <,,><&>22 was oh <,,> it's always been there that window? i think <{><[>so i think um <[>yeah it's not clear just er <{><[>just <[>well i voc i'm not too sure as you <.>can this it probably has this is the balcony <,,> <{1><[1>this <.>th this this beam i would say that this is <{2><[2>a balcony <[1>oh okay <[2>it's it's may be an <{1><[1>outside porch area i'm just looking up there it it's more like outside <{2><[2>joinery in that sort of way <[1>sort of just an outside <[2>er yeah mm yeah wouldn't normally be puttied if it was probably just interior mm no i think it has originally <{><[>been outside <[>yeah mm doesn't make any odds no no it's it's interesting plainly appeals to you yes <,,><&>5 yes <,,><&>5 yes i wasn't sure where to measure it from <{><[>whether it was the <&>3:00 <[>well it's just measuring the glazing size really there but the oh no <,,><&>6 one oh seven oh is a very tight size <&>pronounced as tight ties mm tight size if i give him the extremes for it then we just pull it back a little bit and <,,><&>4 okay <,,> and it's just rebated on the other side wasn't it <,> yep <,,><&>10 as you can see if we can get as much clear glass into it as possible yes then why not it's going to let so much more light through into there <,> oh but you can use some interesting colours in there too <{><[>possibly <.>to to have that effect inside you're not you know everything's <&>4:00 well pretty neutral <,,> <[>mm yeah <,> well with a carpet like that you can't you can't have it too no no you can't go overboard with anything particularly but you can use a lot with it yep <,,><&>4 so again the idea of keeping the hall as light as possible is why we ended up with this we had yes off whitey creamy <,,><&>6 that's nice cos it's it's you know dark enough to get a good contrast mm <{><[>hopefully it it just seems to me to be a window made for some stained glass <[>um yeah course it is <,,><&>4 it's word very light coming up mm <,,> well what are we gonna use <.>we <.>thi this sort of design that you've got there or do we go back to er a central wispy <,,> you're getting <&>5:00 <,,><&>3 i like that sort of shape yes <,> it goes with me <,> laughs and i feel that it's er more or less the age of the house <{><[>now what we actually do with that shape <,> whether you know voc i guess there is there is one that i was <,,> go harking back to and that was that one with the <,> <[>right it just had the rose sort of shape there and that old yeah curly stem coming down mm there's no reason he couldn't work with that and really start from a bit more of a base with even a little bit more leafage at the bottom yeah and come up you can have perhaps a yep a smaller buds bud type flower <{1><[1>there and come into the central one <{2><[2>you don't have to take it right up anyway <{3><[3>keep it only two thirds up <[1>mm <[2>yeah <[3>no mm if <{><[>that <[>mm <,,> you see the trouble with that i like the flow of that one yeah we don't <{><[>have to destroy that <[>but there was <&>6:00 tut it's difficult to fill that <{><[>bottom out yeah <[>nothing yep mm <,,> now well i can give that to joshua it it's particularly helpful seeing what it is and <,> letting you describe it <{1><[1>when you've got the window there <,> i know what you're aiming at yeah exactly yeah we just need a <{2><[2>mover you know i should bring my video camera along really it's a laughs that'd be mean wouldn't it <[1>laughs wave my hands about <[2>mm tut oh i can cope with that now um <,> mm <,> like i say i know what's wrong with that <,> the fact that it's too high but i couldn't think of a way to <,> bring something in down here which yes um i hope you'll be able to suggest something <,,> well are you <.>going going to give me one of these oh you can have that yeah sure thing can i yeah that was just me playing around yeah but i mean it's been there and <.>y you know <&>7:00 that that that's there so we can mm perhaps play something off that with other stuff that was in our album mhm want to have a look from there? right <,,><&>5 it not annoying you is it that's not a problem eh? that's not a problem mm but i don't need the big one anyway just a you know <{><[>a small one'll do <[>oh hang on what about that yeah got a copy yep that's fine that'll just give joshua a a a central motif <,> in line with what you've got mm that's not a problem um <,,> i don't know when <,> we're getting a little bit bogged down are you <{><[>that's good and bad <[>yeah it's wonderful for us um <,> but hopefully within the next few days we can get a drawing done anyway mhm and go from there and i can give you a <,> give you a call and say pop in and have a look see or <.>when when you say <{1><[1>you're getting bogged down i mean what does that mean in your time <&>8:00 scale not i mean some people say they're <{2><[2>getting bogged down and that means six months <[1>mm <[2>okay at present at present no we're not that far out but we're er probably six weeks mhm six to eight weeks mm but you get a good run and things don't build up <.>i so much and we laughs we can better that yeah <,> but then we'll you know sort of got to allow for sort of urgent repairs that crop up and they bite into other stuff <,> but let me have a look see and we'll um okay and also keep in mind that the downstairs one <{><[>eh <[>the downstairs one as well um now on the whole the houses tend to repeat they do the same um window a lot of them tend to repeat virtually the same design mm um there's nothing wrong with that even you could do that quite successfully here and vary colours <,> well the rather than <{><[>design <&>9:00 <[>opacity of it you know <{><[>with it <[>oh oh yeah sure no that's would would it change it in <{><[>any case <[><.>i'd yeah <.>i yeah i don't think that's going to make a great difference though mm you can use clear glass on this and er a cathedral glass that you can't see through but it it's still maintains a pretty clear appearance mhm <,> right <,,><&>3 and the lead on it as you as you well know tends to <,,> magnify any design that's there anyway or you know give it a a stronger image mm <,,> <{1><[1>it adds to the pattern doesn't <{2><[2>it yeah it's part of the pattern um <,,><&>3 and if we use the two the same design virtually the same design we'll say for the two windows will that cut the price down a bit <,,> seeing as you only have to do the pattern <{3><[3>once one time <&>10:00 <[1>it <[2>yeah <[3>yeah that's only if they're going to be the exactly the same size really i actually think they are if they're yeah i've got a feeling <{><[>they're very close <[>i think if if they're near enough <.>t to it <{><[>then yes cos probably we can only we can work off the one drawing <[>mm mm mm um and there's a certain amount of time you can save there yes tut <,> and for ones that are identical then yeah we cut out two at one time and <{><[>er er that does save <,> saves time yeah <[>mm mm but if we come up with a drawing that's satisfactory i can give you a you know er <{><[>accurate accurate costing any way yeah all right <[>oh yeah no i actually meant a feeling mm <{><[>well thank you <[>i'll i'll have a measure of the bottom one and er well i'll just have a look see while we're at it <,,> it's oh voc your machine? before you run off you have to fill this out sorry oh sorry that's okay yeah laughs <,> i got carried away that's all right um and i <,,><&>4 it's fairly straightforward i think <&>10:59 <&>thirty five second pause while fills out background information sheet <&>11:34 you started taking long <{><[>relaxing holidays oops long relaxing holidays in the sun have you <[><&>noise of something dropping oh oh i try laughs i try <,> do it <&>12:00 more <,,><&>17 oh that's wrong laughs <{><[>sniffs <[>sniffs <,,><&>9 tut right um <,,><&>3 tut guesses are good enough so just er approximate some of these things i think just to get a an idea for the statistics if they look at how english is changing and the um <,> tut it's called the corpus of new zealand english and what will happen is when it's actually on disk or <.>wher whatever it gets to it'll be used by people all over the world so it's quite a yes quite a large project <,,><&>11 <&>13:00 and that's just um oh it says we'll we'll fill that in yeah you fill all that in? yep <{><[>that's <[>a that's fine yeah you do that and you may <{1><[1>like to read about what you've just <{2><[2>done you may not like to read about it it just says what the project's all about and what they're <{3><[3>doing with it mm that's just <{4><[4>as much a <[1>yeah <[2>yeah sure <[3>okay <[4>a no only too happy you know <,> any more questions you know where to find me yes <{><[>exactly laughs <[>laughs right <&>13:26
