    Just to prove that I don't always get to work on lovely antique windows...here's a 1930's metal casement that the owner says still has plenty of life in it...but the tenant doesn't agree :scratch::D

    Good news is that I'm at Hidcote Manor gardens on Monday to work on a very special pair of buildings:WINK1:

      "Its had some of the newness worn off it Madam."

      Works work Nick, i've had jobs where i've gone round to do some carpentry & ended up removing a virus from the clients computer or changing a washer. Had to defrost the clients freezer oneday, got there to find the door jammed open & water dripping all over the kitchen floor. Couldn't really ignore it:DOH:

            I assume it's local Cotswold slate Zig but it is very thin and well dressed to fit the curve.

            I would have thought that too Nick, its the thinness that threw me. The stone shingles I have seen have been much thicker.

            Anyway, that aside, lovely job again:thumbsup:

            Off to North Devon tommorow, sorting out an 1880s building that was bodged up to sell:DOH:
