Yes I see your point, the original wooden windows in the other houses have the old style handles in white. Also the glazing guy suggested black sills, however theres only one house out of approx 200 that has this as he has the original wooden windows. Would black sills be a feature or a bit...

They unfortunately only do the black ones in the period style, the white ones are your average modern type with key locks.

Im having some Evolution windows fitted and they offer chrome, white, or black handles in a period style. My house is 1920-30's. Im wondering if the chrome woul dlook too new. Is there any possibility of having the black handles resprayed white by a local bodyshop? The black handles do not have...

Any opinions anyone?

ps I almost meant do full georgian bars in the doors spoil the look of the garden or enhance it?

Im replacing my rear georgian bay which has rotted away with two french doors and windows above. The current set up is a single door with side returns in a bay and windows above, for some reason the windows have no bars. Im replacing with two french doors, should the windows above have the...

Yes I can imagine. Ha ha what a story....... slightly emaberresing!

Cheers ban all sheds, some nice ideas there. Stuartmyboy, do you have any pics of the finished job at all? I like the sound of that.

Cheers mate, yeh theres a few things on there, small leds will do the job me thinks!

Masona, Im having the lead units supplied by the dble glazing company, their using Evolution Storm units. I think the lead is outside the glass?

Your house sounds really nice, never ending though isnt it! Thats what Im aiming to do, ie, put in stained glass windows and odeon style fireplaces etc. Basically theres only one house with original wood windows and black sills. Theres a handful with varnished sills and upvc windows. Rest of...

Thanks for the diagram mate. Just read yr other comment. Do you mean extend the stringer? Do you think this would look better/easier than using the small leds that are around?

Ah rite I get you now. I was going to have them installed in the brick side of the wall, so you could see them from the hallway, but the 'string' side is an option I guess, just wont see them as much.

Chhers, I see where yr comin from, small and discreet may be a bit better than big square items every other stair. Think the manufacturer charges the shop a delivery charge. Hope they will understand! I think a kit of leds is approx £80, so would save alot also. Warm white or cool white for...

Sorry a stringer?

No cant put them in the stairs as their the square type lights that have a small hole within to shine the light down. Its an outside brick wall with the garage on the other side. I could go for the simple option of buying a pack of 10 leds I guess. Alot cheaper as the ones Ive ordered are...

Nice caravan but bit confused.com!

ladylola, is yr house a 1930s property? And yes its double glazed, I see your point, will probably just be the tops after receiving all this great advice and ideas from everyone. Now the sills is the question!

Cheers, some very good points & advice made there. I guess black sills would be differrent but again, only about 4 houses out of 200 only seem to have them, should I keep in with the majority as with the leaded top lights? I have black lead flashing and aiming to paint the front door black, so...

I have purchased some led stair lights which Im aiming to have installed in a plaster/brick wall. Is 62mm cut in circumference and depth a bit extreme. I know the small round leds are easier to fit, but can this amount of wall be cut out of for my sparki to undertake?
