@Hippo the word ratted has no swearing or connotation other than to an adult. Why the angry face?
I specifically did not use the other term because I felt it would fall foul of this rule.
If it keeps on like this I may take my custom elsewhere ;)

Yup the problems caused by peeps not cleaning it properly after going offroad. We have a mighty pressure washer in the
yard but it would take the paint off if yer not careful.

I woz chatting to a Frog bloke this evening at the producers' market, over wine and cheese as we do.
He was out in Algeria during some of the "trubles" over there. He said that they used to put grease on the front of their vehicles when they knew a sandstorm was approaching.
The grease caught the sand and stopped it sandblasting the paint off the vehicles.

Us too.
But, the fixing of internal shutters was too onerous and would end up with 2 big bulky lumps on either side of the bay window.
Instead I had CNC cut plywood inserts made to fit inside the window panels. They are papered plain on the outside and with the wall covering tarty chinoiserie paper on the inside faces. They are held in place with rubber "U" tabs glued to the panels.
It is a chore to put them up/take them down but it looks great and keeps the maximum daylight in the room when they are down and we have no need for curtains or curtain tracks etc.

I am trying to get a few days away but the frequent but irregular meetings of my Cardiac Rehabilitation programme service is making it difficult to do.

Sad but good.
I am sure we all are hoping that your rehab is going as well as it should if not better.
Hopefully once done and you are where you need to be then time aay will be a just reward!:)

I remember you posting about this before. Wiv pics if I remember creckly.
I may also have said at the time that our Georgian house in Bath had interior shutters. They folded into cavities in the walls either side of the windy. Only practicle if done from new I think.
By the time we got to the house they had taken them all out, but in the front downstairs room they cut some of the shutters up and used them to make a hinged lid for a toy cupboard under the window, which was quite neat I thort!
 
So, having been to the weekly producers' market then watched bit o a DVD, W has gone to bed and I have to fit the pump, water, unfit the pump then put the hens to bed all by torchlight!

Oh and our slightly bonkers neeb has now bought yet another tratter, a French army one, a 110 with a TD4 engine. At least he can drive it around!

Sleep well all!!:):):)

Our cottage is over 400 years old so the walls are over 2ft thick, the living room wall to windows go in at an angle so ideal
for frame fixings for hinges as it wont obscure the window. Need to look at designs and fittings.

Pleased for him. It is all too easy once you get to a certain age to simply let things slide.
Me being a bad offender!
