Bifold Doors Fitted

We fitted some bi-fold doors over the weekend from a company called Vufold based in Macclesfield. We had a look at afew types of folding/sliding door and these seemed the best for the cash.

I fitted them with my Dad in a weekend. It could have taken a day but we had to chip some stone from the opening to get the frame in. The instructions were also a little misleading here and there but we eventually figured them out and completed the fitting. They look really good and they have a smooth action. Pictures below. The plastic protective film is still on the glass.




A Secret Cellar

The builders have dug out all the original stone slabs so we can concrete the floor and get it nice and level as it was a bit wibbly wobbly. As they pulled up a stone in the kitchen a cellar was revealed. It's only small but we had to think about if we could justify opening it up and using it. After a bit of thought we decided against it as we would compromise where we would be able to put the boiler, washing machine and dryer. We are going to have these under the stairs but if we opened up the old staircase to the cellar we would lose this space. Along with the extra cost of making it useable, it didn't seem worth it. I managed to point the camera in the cellar though and get a few pics.
