We discovered recently that the windows need to go in BEFORE the hempcrete, not after as we initially thought. Fortunately the nice window guy says he can fit it in. They are not cheap, but should be very energy efficient as they are tight fitting and well insulated - they close with a number of points round the frame which pull the window tight against the surround.
He came to do the detailed measuring today and hopefully will fit them in a couple of weeks time.
For this big opening here we have gone with all glass, in 3 panels (2 of which open). We did think about filling some of it in as it is only the workshop in the future. However we will be living here for who knows how many years and even in the future it will be nice to have the open aspect when caring for the chicks that will live here or doing the laundry or woodwork or filling the wood boiler (it is a multi purpose space!)
