Knock knock 2

Well that's the door fitted,a good hardwood door of rather heavy traditional build (I know it's heavy...really heavy) now we have to start off refinishing the surround and cutting new mouldings to make good the new opening, a new stone step......then that bloody roughcast goes!

Marvellous!
I hope you have got a spy hole to see who's visiting.

Trubes...it was here on arrival but will be added to the growing list of removals although I seem to be in a minority as others here like it.

That's a great door Thudders!

Can you turn the step upside down?

Thud said...

Scrobs...saved what we could for use outside office in courtyard so a new one from St.Bees quarry in Cumbria is on order.

Thud said...

James...a mess but you can finally see things taking shape.

Mrs Anon says she is going to try and get hold of the tree woman and with your permission ask her to visit your pad with her,told you flowers/trees/gardens and I don't get fed.

Roofing on gatehouse coming along nicely.
Leave that fence alone it looks nice. :-)

Awesome.

I'm intrigued that the handle is in the middle, when clearly it's a side-hung door, but I guess it looks nicer that way!

WY...there was some debate about positioning but I went with central pull knob and rimlock.

Anon...no problem!
