Sills

The sills of the house were still hidden under banks of leaves, held in place by boards, to keep out the winter cold.

There may have been a chair or two, but the wide window-sills made pleasanter resting-places.

The window-sills, verandah posts and doors had been painted green, and the whole of the house whitewashed.

Balustrades, window-sills and hitching posts are all of white or coloured marbles.

The sills should be mitred and tongued at the angles and secured by a hand-rail bolt.
