Yes, very true Tony but (in my experience) there are many good customers out there, just a few fall into the ACAB category I guess!lutonlagerlout wrote:and dave i have heard of ACAB but without customers where would we be?

Yeah, to my knowledge it was up around the 100k mark!!lutonlagerlout wrote:very nice.i bet that cost a pretty penny
proper lump of a house too
great work JD

Think the steel sub structure bumped the price up.
The house is getting fully renovated too and will be rendered with k-rend or something similar, so the orangery will look pretty smart in the cheshire's against that when all done.

A spades a spade thats a conservatory /sunroom not an orangerie. It wouldn't let enough light in and appears to be facing the wrong way. Flipping architects are great at polishing turds but at the end of the day it's still a turd. It is very nice all the same it would be interesting to see what paving and planting is put in front of those doors. Are the doors being painted to match the rest of the frames it looks a bit odd and out of keeping otherwise.joydivision wrote:Just finnished quite a nice orangery for a company I contract to.
Can't see it from my house
