2014-11-20 A few alterations in the south wing !

Unfortunately the terrace leaked……all the fibre board got soaked and turned to “weetabix” ! So this has now been removed and some metal placed over the new flooring, cross fingers this works !

Secondly there was not quite enough adjustment on the sliding doors as they were, so they had to be taken out and Dave cut a bit more into the supporting pillar to allow the frame to be square…..this took a lots of huffing and puffing from Dave and karl as the doors weigh a ton !

So now its all square the under side of the door has been filled in and its all rock solid !
