Not sure that sash windows are robust enough to be converted to doors.

The woodwork and joints are meant for gliding up and down in a fixed rail (the ?box?) whereas doors move, bear weight at the hinge and get slammed.

Also the glass in a sash window is probably not a robust enough grade to support slamming of a door, etc.

Read it and thought...

REALLY ?

first thing would be the size

Then appearance

Then labour cost

It's a lot of work

Then I thought...

If you use the glass and build a different frame ....

Interesting

Then still time and labour cost

Cost of wood

Fittings ...

Still looks like ?300

........

Recycling and save the planet reason only

Cos it's not economical

Doable

Expensive

Impractical

And if used as front door then easy to break through

Or if secure enough then even more ?'s to spend

Is this really worth it ?

So let's go back to the original question I e asked myself ...

"REALLY " OR my next thought

"WHY" ?

    • Had a meal at Chern Thai  in Grove Vale today - a belated birthday meal for me. We have the lunch time specials as they are good value. Hubby used to go there every week but had not been for several months due to illness.  Pao was happy to see us again and as usual the food was excellent .   0208 693 9749
    • We now go to the Forest Hill pool - more expensive (we are silver swimmers at ED)  but much easier to book in person. Can book and pay for several swims in advance. Better and cleaner facilities. 
    • So are you saying that smoking these awful vape things are not harmful to someone’s health Alan? I think Sue’s reply to my question explains about how vapes are addictive and also contain very high amounts of nicotine which is the main culprit for smoking related deaths?   Can someone tell me how much a vape thing  costs? 
    • I'm down about 50% in numbers and more in species since three years ago.  Not sure if it is the weather, continual building works, the quality of my feed or the pigeons and parakeets putting off others.  Good conversation on Winterwatch on feeding tonight, including issues with spreading disease. Three years ago, likely to see long tailed tits, dunnocks, song thrushes, corvids, wood pigeons. black birds, black caps. Possibles - redwings. Unlikely to see any this weekend, only blue and great tits, robin, goldfinches, bloody feral pigeons.
