It's really something only you and your neighbour can answer.Should we bother?
Thanks obe wan..It's really something only you and your neighbour can answer.
I don't think upside down is a runner because there's a built in step where the sliding rail would be when the door is open, if you get me. It looks like it might be possible to take the thing apart though.Is it possible to swap the door and the panel around
or turn the whole unit upside down.
I don't know much about uPVC window construction bar the fact that it is easy to assemble so I'd imagine either option would work but I'm not an expert.
Put it this way — if it all goes wrong, you have gained an instant 'finisher' to all future DIY arguments with your wife, ever.My DIY expert dad-in-law reckons it's an easy job to remove and swap them.
Good point Doctor(if a little mercenary!). He's an expert though and very helpful. I'll be the one to make a hash of it!Put it this way — if it all goes wrong, you have gained an instant 'finisher' to all future DIY arguments with your wife, ever.
Thanks, NHG.I would swap the complete unit, but check first that the are both the exact same size. I work on sites everyday and very rarely two are the same (maybe only a few mil here and there). Double check the sizes.
I agree, where I am handing french/patio doors I always keep the fixed side near the wall to keep the area larger and the first opening nearest the kitchen area for ease of use.
If it was mine I would definatley change. Might be worth asking someone in the business to do it for you both if you are not used to that kind of work.
Ah, there's experience for you. Still have plenty of spare tiles and the tiler is meant to be coming back to us anyway, so might try and do it before he returns.I would'nt have a clue how much someone would charge for a job like that, I would imaging at least two men at least a day as you will have plastering etc to do in both houses.
Do you have spare tiles if the floor is tiled out to the door as most likely one or more may get broken.
Sorry for duplicating posts MODs, my previous post showed a sending error. I'll check in future.
