I ordered some new windows which my brother in law offered to fit (he is a carpenter who fitted double glazing in the past).
All was going well until we offered up the second window and realised I had typed the wrong size on the order form and it was 100mm too short. The brother in law laughed but by that point we had already removed (and broken) the old window. We added a 100mm lintel as a packer at the bottom and kept fitting.
The laughter at my measuring stupidity stopped pretty quick when he attempted to put the glazing bead in the biggest window and accidentally put a hammer through the glass. Disaster.
Apparently he knows a guy who might be able to get a unit made up tomorrow but I think it is a long shot.
The misses wasn't happy when she got home.
