Hi,
I just moved to a new place which was vacated by a cat lover!. After seeing night time visits by many cats, I crushed cat flap without thinking how to cover that hole. Now I have a 26 cm diameter hole in my back door!. I want to get it fixed soon before the winter. Back door looks to be one with metal on both sides and hard sponge inside (composite doors ?), which makes this job more difficult.
My Plan is to get two white wood cut in 30cm diameter and screw them together from both sides. To give a neat look planned to place edge wood on the circular wood on both sides. Questions I have are..
1. I heard B&Q cuts wood in some of their bigger stores, can this be done in B&Q. ? or need local carpenter? Or any other store will do this?
2. Since this is external door what type of material is the best to use for this to make it weather proof?
3. I planned to place nut & bolt to place both plates together. Also some white filler to make it smooth. Is there any other option to close this? Just wood glue will do?
4. I heard local double glazing guys could sort it out; especially since my door is cut smoothly in round shape. Is that very costly?
Any other way to sort out this' hole in the door'?
Thanks
