French Door Fitting Day

Eventually, after much organisation, planning, second company choice etc., the french doors have now been fitted into the rear sitting room.  The old window was removed, and light oak upvc doors similar to those we had fitted into the kitchen were installed, the complete job from start to finish took just over one day, and we are very pleased with completed work.

Lots of pictures showing below and after installation :-


 















Pine Wardrobe

Our latest purchase to co-ordinate with other bedroom furniture, is a huge vintage pine wardrobe
Delivered with a struggle as very heavy -  thank goodness it dismantled into 4 parts for re-assembly in the bedroom.

Central Heating Boiler

Unfortunately  this week the old Gas Central Heating boiler that was fitted to the cottage  when we first bought, gave up the ghost, died and needed a new circuit board, price approximately £200 plus fitting. We decided that it was more economical to have a new A rated more efficient Gas Boiler fitted to replace it, which is now in place and working after a very efficient customer service time of only 24 hours after diagnosis (independent local plumber)

The new boiler, a Baxi also comes with a 7 year guarantee on parts and labour!
