Gcol The poster asked how to age new stairs, invariably people do this as the item in question looks like a sore thumb....! Now, in another forum you came in straight behind me when I complained that IMO painted lining paper invariably looks rubbish. :roll: IMO hanging lining paper...

Simple changes can be made to the flu so I wouldn't worry about that unless you are really considering a new boiler installation anyway. Are you proposing opening the widow so it is a door and bricking up the existing door and inserting a window in its place to the garden...? Or are you...
