• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Ancient window fix

I hope you won't be having to install it in the worst of the winter weather!

I am fitting some windows on another job at this time, and the weather has not been kind to say the least, part of the job sometimes, just makes it problematic, end up sitting in the van for hour's waiting out the rain storms, (and I'm on a price)

This job is just on the border near Beccles, working on another one at the mo, in Bramfield, and not long finished one at Blyhburgh so I do cross the borders :)

A lot of the larger specialist joinery companies won't take on work like this because it's time consuming and they like to produce joinery in bulk. This type of work is often the domain of a highly skilled solo joiner or small two man outfit.

The guy that approached me about this one had given up with a stack of Suffolk based "Joinery" companies, they didn't want to know, so he came to Norfolk ;)

Nice work and glad you have taken it on.

I did have a big debate with myself, but I couldn't let it go, I may live to regret it.

Thanks Mike still a fair way to go, this is a hospital job, but had this afternoon to get the Mullion and Transom profiling done, which gets a bit tricky when its run through the moulder on a skinny face for support, so i made a support leg and screwed it on just in case it wanted to tip over.

For reference that piece is about just over 4" X 3" in size

Yes and it looks like he came to the right decision too! :obscene-drinkingcheers:
 
Lovely job, that man. And I like the idea of the support leg.
 
Excellent work, you should be proud!

Wow!
They definitely found the right man for the job.
 
"Lovely old job" Paul

For those not au fait with the Norfolk dialect it means it's extremely good!
