Glad you said that!
How about a camera on a stick wiv a link to yer fone so yer can watch the vid live.
Glad you got the door sorted in the end....that I was asked to lift that patio window back in.
Apparently the new doors are not now coming on Monday and in fact they don't know when they are coming.
So my lad bought a new set of runners which arrived last night and he asked me to help him fit them this morning.
He had a pair of new roller/runners but he insisted on only replacing the obviously broken one on the one end/side.
After the the 3rd in/out of this ruddy sliding frame because it wouldn't slide left-right I called a halt and said:
"I've had enough Son. Just because the other one turns under finger pressure without the weight of this 300lb door on it doesn't mean it turns fine when loaded, change the effing thing."
Reluctantly he replaced the other roller assembly. Job jobbed. Door slides just fine.
Came home and took the regulation painkillers for my back.
OH, and he tells me that he and 'er are splitting up after 11 years and 2 kids because she's a spendthrift and prefers her 2 dogs to him and he's had enough. His kids will be devastated, but there you go.
Could they go through some sort of mediation to see if they can settle their differences....that I was asked to lift that patio window back in.

I would really like that, but the boy's an "avoider" and doesn't stick up for himself so would be likely to be browbeaten into doing other than what he really wants. It is hard (as an outsider) to stand in the middle and offer offer objective advice without being accused of "taking sides" you are damned either way. He's let her run the show for a long time and has given in always, but the arrival of 2 dogs he didn't want and her insisting they can share their bed and him getting to step in puddles of poo & pee in his own bedroom in the middle of the night has somewhat soured his view of his importance in the grand scheme of things I think.
dead right with that with alloy with outrigers you don't want more than 6mts as you cannot work on it for holding on and a squeaky bottom dont help
If you stick a silicone "bung" up the squeaky part, does the tower stabilise though?
No it just holds it back when jobs Finnished you would have to release it in privateIf you stick a silicone "bung" up the squeaky part, does the tower stabilise though?
Access "round the back" might be a problem.
