You'd have thought wouldn't you. But i am married tothe nice person who dreams about it.


I did a full day yesterday......hurrah......but have had a late start today, only just about to have. Some breakfast now.


I made the first real booboi of the house last week. We had agreed where new doors were to go based on visual balance of the kitchen, and they have been cut put. Then the noiler man cam, showed us actually how much room in the utility the noiler was going to take and the door place combined with that left a big raft of wasted space in a room where there is simply no room for it, so i have had to ask the nice builder who is also patient to move the door. I feel bad anout this, but know in the long term its the better decision. Hopefully thats taught me a lesson about understanding both sides of the door not just the one side.

I'd far rather give someone a really great day, and i am annoyed i got this wrong.

I am now agonising over details on window fittings. (50quid per fittiong for the ones we like best, but i just don't think its worth it.) we said from the very beginning that we wanted bronze coloured fittings, but one of the samples we have is for a pewter coloured fitting which is ok. Not great but ok. It has a really awkward line on fitting that i cannot fathom why is in there.

I had a bad night, didn't sleep well - it was hot, I kept waking up every 2 hours... and today I am groggy and have a bad shoulder and a bit of a cough.

It's sunny, but a bit windy.

Have you got a pic to explain 'awkward line'?

If you choose pewter and change your mind and are very brave, you can always try this at some future point: http://www.gaterosplating.co.uk/Bronze-Brush-Plating-Kit.php ... although I think you have to supply your own tears with this kit, for the finishing stage.

This is the whole of it, obviously, where you can see its mean to have a sort of handwrought look about it.

But this angle here


Ruins that illusion entirely and face on especially looks clunky. I still think it might be what we end up going for. The bottom stay in that range is very nice indeed.

That's the bit where you can open the window 1/4" and secure it. If that's the bit you mean.
