Plus more expendature on heating, who would warm the bed?? Dave I like your doors, etc. I made all the doors in our Cotswold stone cottage in the Cotswolds (where else?) from floor boards and they turned out great! How dod you get on with the different size toung & groove between the match board and the floor boards, or did you cut that off and do your own? John. The only difference between the men & the boys is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!    Report
