Doors Fixed!

After an on-site meeting with the door supplier, they have agreed to replace the supplied doors with one that functions as a "main" door.

Thanks to Stewart at http://www.carlislewindows.co.uk

Very Happy!

Bi-Fold Doors - Oh No!

The long awaited bi-fold doors were installed, they look really good just what we wanted, but........

Believe it or not the "doors" can't be opened from the outside.  To open from a closed \ locked position they can only be opened from the inside.  Hopefully the builder and door supplier can rectify this situation soon as we need need a door that functions as a door!

Progress in the new kithcen has otherwsie been very good, most of the plastering is completed, the new colomub raditior has been positioned to allow the pipe work to be installed.  The door issue is currently holding up completion of the plastering and the fomation of a patio \ steps outside.

We have a 4-2-2 style door, if anyone can find reference anywhere that states the door can't be opened from the outside, like a "door" then let me know!

1st fix electrics and boarding

All the first fix electric cables are now in place and work has started adding insulation and plasterboard.

Bi-fold door opening

In preparation for the 3m Bi-fold doors the window opening has been widened to accommodate the new door.

The full width of the external walls can now be clearly seen and the amount of stone removed has been considerable........
