    rickyrooo1 Hanging round like a bad smell

    Back door was wooden and rotten, when we moved in it wouldn't open, i planed it down as it had swelled up and the bottom was hanging off, bodged it together with some kick plates to get me by, I have got matey with some of the lads at the double glazing place over the road at work and they were on the lookout for a upvc one for me in the right size, good things come to those that wait. Cost no pounds and no pence, happy days, fitted today, before and after.

    I did the skirting in the bedroom bigger than the door trim, reason? 'Cos that's what came in at work..... I'm basing a lot of the fitments on what comes back from tk maxx or Starbucks

    My first house was like that, I hacked the path away from the house, dug it out well below the damp course and back-filled with pebbles.
    I'm on a roll!

    Yeah I've done that at part of it, someone has decided to seal the wall (outside) to the path with loads of silicone.....
