Sounds silly, I know.
Having lived in our house for a couple of years now, we are increasingly frustrated by our patio door. It slides open in a manner which means the open section is at the wall, rather than to the middle of the kitchen. This means going between table and chairs to get in and out. (I know, I really have a lot to worry about)
As the scorching summer is nearly here, there'll be a lot more traffic to the back garden and clothes line etc. Our neighbour, who lives in the "mirror-image" semi finds she has the same problem. We're sure they should have been installed the other way around but the builders wouldn't play ball (I think the window people are the problem). My DIY expert dad-in-law reckons it's an easy job to remove and swap them.
Anyone ever tried this or know if it will work? They're PVC, about 6' wide and the dimensions match. Someone else suggested just whipping it out and replacing it "inside out" but I think this mightn't work.
Should we bother?
