where things might have been better.
Not the weather, though. we had a beautiful day today. The solar panels on the house roof generated almost 200 amp-hours today and the batteries in the house are now almost fully-charged. The batteries in the barn have been fully charged for a couple of days of course.
So up with the lark and off to Montlucon for my insulation. And they just had one pack of 20mm sheets left and so I shall have to make do with that for now. I also picked up a pile of door handles for €2:00 each and a few other bits and pieces too in the sale, but the huge disappointment was the sliding doors. They had a pile on sale at €15 each, quite reasonable light oak with inset mirrors and so I immediately went for four of them. But much to my dismay, only the first one was light oak and all of the others were a dark gloomy colour that won't match the drawers and won't match the worktop either. So back to square one with that.
I was back home before midday too, despite fitting in a trip to the Auchan, and I did some more on the Holiday Lettings thingy that we are talking about on the radio just now.
At 17:55 I nipped down into Pionsat to watch the 3rd XI play Montfermy, a match specially arranged at that time at the request of the visitors. Not many matches at all on tonight so they had even, for the first time that I can remember, been able to find an official referee for a 4th Division match and so we had the ref, we had 14 Pionsat players - and no opposition.
They simply didn't turn up.

Have you thought of changing the colour of the sliding doors? We've had some really nice results with ronseal paint and grain. Or you could do a limewash effect on them. What's best depends on what effect you'd want to acheive, but that's a darn good price for sliding doors and it seems a shame to miss if they can be altered to suit. Well, I hope you find something to suit what you want.
ReplyDeleteI'm a while away from needing doors so I'm not in a particular rush. I intend to see what IKEA have to offer and if they have nothing and I can't find anything else that I like, I'll simply make my own.
ReplyDeleteI have no problem making doors either. A few planks screwed together make a fine door. A little caulking and some paint make it windproof. I built the door to the crawlspace under Satan's sister's house out of 2x4. It works, is robust and won't rot.
