I'd like to comment on both the front door and the garage door. The latter was put up very professionally, and I was amazed to note how long it actually took to do. I was impressed by the fitters accuracy and how they made sure that everything was exactly right. They even had to stick on their firm's label and take a photograph that it had been done! They said that 'checks' were carried out...and they weren't wrong!! Some hour and a half later, a gentleman turned up to examine it and ask if I was happy with the job.....Very efficient!...and maybe a case of 'big brother is watching you'!

The front door was another matter....First the fitter did not want to fit it because he wanted the archway above it bricked up. Then he decided that he would go away and come back when the work had been done.....but he couldn't tell me when...as they were VERY BUSY.

I decided there and then that the door WAS going in, and that I'd take the responsibility for it if there were any complications. He finally agreed to fit the two-leaf door and secured it everywhere but above. When I asked for an additional bracket to fix it above, he said that they didn't provide any!!

I didn't see the logic of telling me that it needed to be secure above, once something was put  in place in the archway, but not giving me anything to secure it with!!

I'm happy with its appearance and fit and now I'm considering putting in a nice bit of oak where the arc is and staining it to match the door. The inside of the archway will be built up with insulating material. It might not work...but it's worth a try.

With these doors in place, I just had to wait for the windows upstairs, and as I mentioned earlier they came some two weeks later.
