    Lots of nothing much here. Not desperately chilly at 13C, not bright at all, no wind. Nope, not interested in that!

    So much to do today, so little motivation to get it done.

    Including cleaning up two Rock Doors in the hope of getting them sold. They are only 12 months old. I fitted two entrance doors for a customer last week at a caravan park ("it's NOT a caravan park, it's a residential park!") Well these Rock Doors were too heavy for her "residence", and whenever she closed the door her pot dogs fell off the shelves. So I replaced with upvc. Anyway she said I could sell them on if I wanted.

    Pity they're both stable doors, limits my market. Mr. Ed would love them, but unfortunately Ed is brown bread

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You're right, there must be a market for them or Rock Door wouldn't make them... Thousand quid doors these, should fetch a couple of hundred

    God I hope no one thinks I'm trying to use the forum for selling them! My plan is to use Ebay/Facebook/Gumtree. I'll get out there and get details shortly. But I can tell you now they both open out, which is great if space inside is at a premium.

    Right I've measured them. Smaller one is 840x1860mm. Add to that height 30mm for a sill, which is needed. Larger one is 900x1990mm. This is "face drained" so doesn't need a sill, but can have one if wanted.

    My view, based on past experience, is that it is going to be a long cold Winter.

    Ventusky is an amazing website. I could smell the foul air-quality over the UK last night. Stunk like diesel fumes.

    Ah well, we'll get through this.

    The big one is about the right height but 900 mil would be too wide I think. That's almost three foot wide? I'll have to measure and come back to you. How good is your bodging?
