@Lenny I think you made a good choice getting warm white lights. When my dad bought warm white Led lights for my room I said why not get 6000k lights but he said warm white gives that nice cosy look whilst a pure 6000k light gives a clinical look. 

I've a perfect example of the difference here mate 

The downlights are on a seperate switch but there 6000k white and the light near front door is warm white

Very commendable @zain611. You know you can't polish a ***** Micra right?

Yeah your right there 😂. It's just my eyes keep going to the faded plastic trims whenever I wake up every morning and look outside. Did have insult to injury yesterday when I told my dad who didn't seem happy I chose to do it. Don't like it when you break your back and put time and effort into something and you get skulled at 😑.

Is she young and pretty or a bit of an old boot?

Nah there was no motive like that 🤣. She's a married woman I think near her 30s. My neighbour next door his mother and brother in law and wife live in the house opposite. Sadly not long ago the neighbour next to them passed away and she was around 90 and lived alone. Yesterday my neighbour next door helped her grand daughter empty the house out and was looking at what I was doing 😂.

Thanks very much mate,

It's coming together nicely, I'm still using Ikea matts as cheap temporary flooring in hall until replacement tiles, 

Planning to replace front door before fitting tiles but it's getting there, 

Recently fitted solid oak mantle in hall and a mirror from "The Range"

Emotional attachment at this stage 

I've around 19 or 20 of them in total but were only €9 each and rubber backed, much softer than concrete, easily dispose of them in the wheelie bin when not required..... in around 2022 ☺😅😐

PVC here's a Photoshop 

Quoted €2,470 without letterbox as don't want it, going for a free standing instead

 

Yeah would get chrome. Copper probably would suit a dark coloured wall and ceiling.

Wow, that's expensive Lenny. Have you had a few quotes? I've not paid more than £1200 for a composite door with 1 sidelight. That was with bevelled glass and lead work on the door too. Obviously it would be more with 2 sidelights that you have.

I've not priced another place as the wife wants this particular place to do it, 

Its triple glazed with multi point lock and has a safely open latch can be locked to open on a bar. 

Won't be happening this year though

Yeah, mine was triple glazed multi point too mate. I wonder if you've been quoted for an original Rock Door? They are more expensive than alot of other composite door manufacturers. If your wife is adamant that it has to be that firm then let her pay for it herself!😮😁
