WEEK 18. 01-12-12.

PROGRESS:


Below the types doors/ windows I discussed with Munster Joinery.

Order can go in on Monday - to leave a chance of delivery before X mas - 

Yesterday would have left us with a better chance - 

I have a suspicion that delivery will be after X mas however.

Few decisions to make..........

I really like the idea of a colourful window to the rear and sides - red/ green etc.

traditional type cottage look - I thinkl it would REALLY enliven/ add to the project.

see example below:





Other decisions:

to the rear (living room)  we had a triple patio door  -
this is not possible by Munster joinery.

The other choices are:

1. Double doors opening out with glazed fixed panel on each side. 

roughly same price.......

2. Bi fold door - 1 swing leaf and 2 folding leafs.

about 2/ 3 times more expensive!!!!!
