Has TD fought the transformer and the transformer won?
Ah Gardening then.
Pedestrian Gates
We got the same company that made the main gate to also make the pedestrian gates, for continuity.
Once fitted and stripped of their plastic cover, the colour is pretty close to that of the wood on the house.
delivery was on time
QAQC were straight on the case.
2 doors? check.
delivery here? check.
Customer waiting to watch installation? check.
Get on with it? yes!
Although they measured it before they made the gate frame (least ways...I hope they did!).. a final check was made
These were those gates waiting in the factory...
Didn't take long to place them...
A bit longer to align them
Not sure we will stay with these handles long term - I want an auto opening release so that i don't have to traipse down to the gate every time someone comes round
it does not look too bad, I think...
here's the back door also in place
Yep - they do actually open 'n' close - a key feature requirement!
its a solid stainless steel frame but i will probably do some more work on the back - looks a bit 'industrial ' for me
I might just paint the steel the same wood colour, or i might face it with something...not sure yet
Ooops - nearly forgot this one - the door with all the plastic travelling protection removed
...And here's the newly installed 30/100 meter
Lil' bit of testing and its good to go...
TerraCotta tile sealing
Love terra cotta but as we all know... its porous.
That means it will stain easily when the red wine gets split.
So...its got to be sealed, and K.Pot finally got round to doing it...
PJ's bro checking if its still sticky...
Thank you for this thread. Very detailed. Must read all but will take a couple days to digest.
The release mechanism is in the catch, in the door jam.
Slip factor has increased David, but not really by so much.
this was more about getting a seal to stop staining.
the sealant sinks in to the terra cotta surface rather than lacquering a glass-like top to the tiles - the tile still grips the foot enough.
Will have to repeat after time of course but rather that than trying (and failing) to remove wine or grease stains from the many parties we will be having!
I suggest saving the tennis balls from your gated tennis club TD. Cut em in 1/2 and stick to the bottom of a set of flip flops - for the rare occasion when your able to see over the yard arm.
Just watching on French TV5;
THE LOUVRE ABU DHABI
The first universal museum in the Arab world, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is home to a museum city of more than 64,000 square meters. Its construction represented an extraordinary architectural challenge, between tradition and modernity. Behind the scenes of a construction site that will last ten years, from the first idea to its completion.
