April 2010 – A new door

Unfortunately I forgot to take a ‘before’ picture so the ‘after’ will have to suffice on it’s own. We decided back in October that the bathroom would benefit from some natural light (there is no window) and that by removing the pretty horrible solid bathroom door and replacing with a semi glazed door would be a positive move. We found the door we wanted in Lapeyre and during a visit in October obtained the dimensions of the piece of glass needed. A piece of appropriately discrete toughened glass was cut to size in the UK and brought over. So with the door collected yesterday I had no excuse but to fit it today.

The job went, unusually, according to plan and three hours later the door and frame were installed.

Quick tests indicate that if you stand directly behind the door nearly all will be revealed! However when in the shower your modesty is protected. The younger members of the family however want some hooks on the door so they can hang towels over the glass!
