Lead flashing plays an integral part in a roofing system, helping to prevent structural damage and water leaks. Mainly installed around chimneys, roof junctions, and valleys, it forms a shield against any possible moisture infiltration. Its prolonged exposure to rough weather, temperature fluctuations, and general wear eventually causes extensive damage. Identifying the signs of damage to lead flashing can help prevent expensive repairs and safeguard the roof’s integrity.

Sunflower take 2 !

I'm so so so happy with how it came out!!! Please admire closely that left leaf and pretend the right one isn't there. The filling isn't super pretty but a vast improvement to the leadworks I've done so far. Some of the ones toward the right side are even sort of held their shape and are almost even! It took me a while to figure out how to end them so that they stayed square and didn't distort going into the next stitches.

There was lots to learn doing this pattern again. One, it was the first project on my new pillow so had to get used to the new shape and stuff. I also got some Honiton bobbins now which I did end up really liking!! And of course, the new thread. At first it was a huge pain, I kept breaking the runners off and wanted to cry, but once I got used to how much tension to use ( basically none. since the pillow is so round and domed, the way the bobbins hang off the edge really provides all the tension needed) I really got going! The coarse thread is also now a better size compared to the main thread and I can see how it is adding better stability to the piece (and looks nicer, especially for the petals)! For size comparison, here it is next to the other sunflower I did:

She so little!!

As crowds gather outside to gawp up at the freshly carved tracery and gleaming leadwork, however, they might not be aware that the most radical part of the entire project is actually right beneath their feet. The biggest impact on Paris will not be found in the rebuilt forêt of oak hidden away in the attic, or the ornamental rooftop cresting, but in how the fire has provided a catalyst to rethink the surrounding area as a model for climate-friendly public space on an increasingly scorching planet.

“The project of the cathedral was to rebuild it identically,” says Patrick Bloche, first deputy mayor of Paris, as he stands outside Notre Dame’s freshly scrubbed facade, puffing on his pipe. “On the other hand, outside the building, we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to completely reimagine what the surroundings could be.”

In the days following the fire, there was much enthusiasm among a certain cast of architects about what form a new-look Notre Dame might take. Norman Foster imagined crowning the charred nave with a vaulted glass roof and a spire topped with an observation deck – “a work of art about light,” he declared, which would “capture the confident spirit of the time”. Others proposed glitzy roofs made of Baccarat crystal, or a memorial spire in the shape of a gigantic golden flame. Thankfully, such hubris was ditched for a faithful reconstruction, but the fragmented and congested surroundings offered scope for a bolder approach.

“The area around Notre Dame has changed so much throughout history,” says Bas Smets, the Belgian landscape architect who won an open competition to redesign the area around the cathedral in 2022. “It’s like a privileged witness of a city looking for its form. The question now is what kind of spaces we need for the city of tomorrow.”

On Friday 29 November, Smets was first in line to explain his vision to Macron, on the president’s first visit to inspect the reborn Notre Dame, before its official inauguration tomorrow. They stood on the first completed piece of the “petit parvis”, the forecourt in front of the cathedral, which Smets plans to expand to mirror the full length and width of the building, with grooved limestone flags reflecting the chequerboard marble floor inside.

His plan – to be completed by 2027 at a cost of €50m, funded by the city – will create a much more open setting for the cathedral, encouraging visitors to explore more of the Île de la Cité at a slower pace, beyond just queueing up for a peek inside Notre Dame before hot-footing it to the Eiffel Tower. The new spaces will prioritise people over vehicles, seeing roads closed and pedestrianised, and reconnect the cathedral to the Seine for the first time in generations, with a new 400 metre-long riverside promenade. Plenty of shade will be provided by 160 new drought-tolerant trees, which will also help to shield queueing visitors from winter winds, while the hottest days will be relieved by an ingenious air-cooling water feature – with a splash of fun.

“We were inspired by seeing how they clean the streets of Paris,” says Smets, whose team includes the French urban planning agency GRAU and heritage specialists Neufville-Gayet. The city is unusual in having a dual water network, one for drinking water and another for untreated non-potable water, for irrigation, cleaning and firefighting – a 19th-century legacy of Baron Haussmann’s urban improvements. On hot summer days, the street-cleaning vans often leave this water running to cool down the roads and pavements. Learning from the locals, Smets has designed an 80 metre-long stretch of the plaza to be flooded with a thin 5mm-deep sheet of water on the hottest days, forming a reflecting pool that also provides evaporative cooling, lowering the air temperature by several degrees. Like the fountains of Kings Cross in London, it promises to be a popular place for a cooling splash – with enough space before the cathedral entrance, church wardens will be relieved to hear, for damp feet to dry off.

Given the expected 15 million visitors a year, one of the designers’ chief tasks was to improve crowd control, which Smets has partly addressed with a new entrance – dramatically punching new openings in the quay retaining wall facing the Seine. Enabling people to arrive by boat, this entrance will connect to a new visitor centre housed in a former 1960s underground car park, and provide a theatrical route up to the plaza, giving a worm’s-eye view of Notre Dame’s famous western facade for the first time.

Not all Parisians have welcomed these bold changes. An angry petition launched in April 2023, titled “Save Notre Dame gardens!”, gained more than 55,000 signatures, with concerns focused on the removal of fences around areas of lawn, as well as the removal of benches and flowerbeds, “completely distorting the spirit of the place”. Others opined that the scheme was “too British” in its plan to surround the cathedral with open gardens. Smets insists that some of the criticism was down to a misinterpretation of the plans – the historic benches, for example, will all remain – but the design has been altered to retain more of the fencing, only removing a section to open up the riverside path. “It became a political thing,” he says. “In the competition, we were asked to take out the fences, so we did. But keeping the fence, for me, is totally fine. We’re actually returning the situation to how it was in 1848, with a fence around the gardens, but not blocking access to the Seine.”

With an eye on Paris’s wider urban greening efforts, which have been a chief hallmark of socialist mayor Anne Hidalgo’s tenure, the project will also act as a laboratory for future landscaping work elsewhere in the city. While the main plaza will see an existing avenue of horse chestnut trees extended along the street, encouraging people to take a full circuit around the cathedral, a former car parking area to the east will become an experimental arboretum of different species.

“We imagine it as a living climatic laboratory,” says Smets, “to see how well different trees perform over time.” After the city’s plane trees suffered from beetle infestations, and others have been stricken by drought, the pressure is on to determine which varieties will thrive in the rapidly changing climate. “This is such an important, symbolic site,” he adds. “But it is also an opportunity to reimagine public space as a way to create a better outdoor microclimate – looking to the past to inform the city of the future.”

She requested Oak to get the churchwardens to turn the leadwork at the mouth of the gurgoyle that hung gaping down upon them, that by this means the stream might be directed sideways, and a repetition of the accident prevented.

What Troy does hastily and abandons readily, Bathsheba does purposefully with intent to sustain.

Why Domestic Glass Replacement is Essential for Modern Homes

In today's constantly changing housing landscape, it is more crucial than ever to keep your home comfortable, safe, and attractive. Glazing is typically overlooked until problems emerge. Domestic glass replacement is a vital component of house maintenance that provides numerous benefits beyond simply fixing damaged or foggy windows. From increasing energy efficiency to boosting aesthetics, timely domestic glass replacement is critical for safeguarding and modernising your living space.

Modern homes should be both energy efficient and visually appealing. Windows is a major contributor to both. Cracks, chipping, or fogging are more than simply a visual issue; they also compromise insulation and security. Domestic glass replacement allows homeowners to successfully manage these issues, ensuring the property's functionality and attractiveness.

One of the most compelling arguments for replacing household glass is enhanced insulation. Older single-pane windows or defective double-glazing units can cause severe heat loss in the winter and excessive heat penetration in the summer. This results in greater heating and cooling expenditures. Upgrading through domestic glass replacement improves home sealability, lowering energy consumption and keeping a constant indoor temperature.

Security is another crucial consideration. Damaged or outdated windows can weaken a home's security. Fragile or damaged windows are easy to smash, rendering homes more exposed to break-ins. Investing in domestic glass replacement improves the window frame, particularly when toughened or laminated glass is used, which is more difficult to break and serves as a deterrent to potential burglars.

Aesthetics should not be overlooked. Windows contribute significantly to a property’s kerb appeal. Clouded, cracked, or mismatched glass can make a home look neglected. By opting for domestic glass replacement, homeowners can instantly revitalise the appearance of their properties. Whether aiming for a sleek modern look or preserving a traditional style, new glazing can make a noticeable difference.

Another sometimes neglected benefit of replacing home glass is noise reduction. Outside noise can be a persistent source of disturbance in busy residential areas or homes near roads and schools. New glazing technology, particularly acoustic glass, offers superior sound insulation. Domestic glass replacement allows inhabitants to experience quieter, more serene indoor surroundings.

For homes with unique glass elements, such as stained glass, frosted panels, or beautiful leadwork, domestic glass replacement provides an opportunity to maintain or duplicate the original appeal while updating to more efficient and secure alternatives. Customised solutions guarantee that character and performance go hand in hand.

Furthermore, domestic glass replacement can raise the total value of a home. Prospective buyers and valuers frequently consider the condition of windows when evaluating a home. Properties with newly installed or well-maintained glazing are more likely to receive higher bids and sell faster. Thus, home glass replacement is more than just a repair; it is an investment.

To summarise, domestic glass replacement is much more than a response to a breaking. It is a proactive move towards a more secure, efficient, and visually appealing house. Whether motivated by energy savings, increased security, noise reduction, or aesthetics, homeowners will profit from prioritising domestic glass replacement. With modern innovations and specialised solutions, now is an excellent time to evaluate how domestic glass replacement might enhance your living area.
