yep, your right it does fw, fitting a new door on the front of my small loft, as the door is on the end......this is where the new loft is going so I need to do this for access, once this is fitted this week I`m on with putting the new loft up, altho putting the sides and roof trusses will be straight forward, putting all those roof tiles on wont be easy, but just got to keep plodding on eh

Tiles???going posh

yep, they were free............might as well use them eh

Best be on your guard ray when they start to lay and one cock tries to take two boxes eggs broken pain in the rear end
