doors: real and faux

Got the front door fitted eventually, although the weather has not allowed us to render the in-fill either side. It would melt if I tried it!Here is the door from the inside. What a difference it makes against the wind! We can actually think about heating the downstairs now.
Meanwhile, upstairs, we have insulated and framed-out the capuchine, which used to be the only way into the loft. Since we have excavated the soil away from the back wall, this door leads nowhere, and we are not allowed to have a clear glass window overlooking our neighbor's property....
So, having installed pipes to take further electric cables (that are sure to be required once the space is blocked)....
We have fitted an old french door that came out of the house. Thus we have a 'faux' door, and a triple glazed, non-see-through window.
