Thanks pEast. I hadn’t heard anything about it. We are in a new estate. Glad to hear we don’t have to hand over another 4K. That isn’t in our budget.

Hi gags,
They had done the soil test, don't think they would fix costs without the test having been done. We didn't know the soil test had been done though. They…

We wanted bi folds as well but went with ezy reveal window that is just a normal slide open. Hardly cost anything.

Thanks Ezza, hoping tomorrow goes smoothly, our 6 yr old can be great but can also be a right pain (50/50 of which version he is on any given day).

Why stay away from Waffle? I had heard the same but have heard that as long as it is properly engineered they are fine. I would say that Raft would…
