Greg,
Are you telling me that replacement doors have to meet Building Regs?
I don’t think so in this case, it’s a replacement door, less than 50% Glazed.

Let me know if there’s more to it than I think.
Cheers
Andy

Love your work.
Don’t know what’s more impressive though, your woodwork or your video work.
Great to watch.

Andy, your written instructions and drawings are excellent and the videos better the ‘New Yankee Workshop’. I am nearly 65, just retired and hoping to take up some woodwork. What I have seen here only drives me on to get going – many thanks for your inspiration.

Thanks Gordon,
Your “Lean Too”. I’d call it a Fantastic Timber Conservatory. Stunning work.
Your stained glass is an inspiration as well!
Hope your door works out well

Well, Well, Well, ……….
I’ve been searching for days, months for this info.
A goldmine at last!
Many Many thanks, Andy, for your time and effort in sharing you project in such a clear and varied way. (Head cams, videos and illustrations)
I was hesitating on making my own doors and windows for my Lean-Too, but now I will go right ahead.
Sketchup takes a while to get to grips but the tutorial videos help. Worth the time to get up and running on.

Andy.
You do a great job with both the written work as well as the graphics on the computer to show the method of work. And the quality of your videos productions are great. I IY perslucky to do Woodworking and General Construction for a living for the past 35 years. But for the weekend DIY’er they should have no problem following your directions. I enjoy check out sites such as yours to see how others vary in their methods of work.. I try to keep a open mind and look for ways I might be able to improve my ways of doing the same job. Over the years new materials and tools have been developed. As well the consumers are better educated today. A lot of this is due to the easy access to information via the internet. To be competitive the contractors today need to keep ahead what is changing in our industry just to keep up with what are customers are looking for when thy seek us out.

Thanks for a great site,
