I gave a customer a quote to replace various bits and pieces. He's accepting the quote on the basis that I supply him a copy of MY suppliers invoice for the parts used. This is the first time I've been asked for this. How can I tell him to F Off in polite terms?

Also toughened glass looks more 'bendy'.

can you take a picture of the window frame itself please. It will be easier to recognise the profile from that picture.

I'm not one of the 'older members' but I hope I can offer you advice! Use one of the better brands of silicone as the water content will be less than the cheap stuff. Two ways of smoothing off: 1 - wet finger with soapy water 2 - spray soapy water onto silicone and smooth off The...
