Exactly.
I don't anticipate having to do it again before we leave here in our boxes but you never know, the Grim Reaper might not want us.
Or one of us ... :-)

Right, thanks.
Hm - for how long though ...

Email me if you think you might get further north - I'll have tea and home-baking ready for you. I think you have my _real_ email address?

It seems that the trade bodies are having undue influence. Next will be plumbing, then gardening (these lawn mower blades are really sharp - leave it to a professional)
Car DIY - must be inspected by a qualified mechanic after any work relating to safety issues (tyre pressure, brake work, starting the engine etc.)
Why is 15 minutes different from 16 minutes?
Or 14 minutes?
Mary
Possibly ...
I doubt that we'll have the energy to go to Sutherland ...
Mary
Why am I laughing ... :-(

It's a gorgeous drive up the west coast.....
Sheila
I'm sure ... mail me with your addres ...

This worries me...
I have an existing window, single glazed sash, that's pretty old & the sashes are in pretty bad nick, but the frame oitself is fine. The fram does have a problem in that it's been pushed back into the room by about
30mm and needs reseating...If I do the work myself, remove the window frame, clean up the brickwork, put it all back with new double glazed sashes (From copycat), do I need to get it certified? (The house itself is 1890's and the sash certainly looks old enough to be original).
TIA

Nope that would be outside the regs since it would count as a repair rather than a replacement.
Address and directions sent.
Sheila
Ah good... In that case I'll proceed...
I wonder how much of the original you need before a repair turns into a replacement :)
[No, it's a repair, because the sash cord is original, I just replaced the rest :) ]
How about just keeping the view? ;-)
