We built an extension on our last house (3 storey 1850's victorian town house). Most of the new back wall was a bifolding sliding oak door. We were happy with them and they looked good but we rarely had them open all the way. For this reason we have decided not to have them again in our new house. This time we are opting for 3 sets of french doors similar to the house in the picture above. There are some advantages over the folding sliding doors. It allows the wall space to be used in between each set of doors. It looks nicer in my opinion and you could curtain the 3 sets of doors if you wish. There was no point putting curtains on a folding sliding door because you would end up with a whole wall of fabric which wouldn't look great so we lost our privacy. By the way our new house is a ugly 1955 build. We are trying to make it look traditional with an exterior makeover.

Hi, we built a lovely patio and pergola last year and now we'd like to do a built in BBQ and pizza oven on the side. Has anyone done anything similar? I'd love to see any photos. Thanks

Great transformation, revealing the lovely old stone wall has given character to the whole garden. It looks pretty established already - the lockdown weather has been great for our gardens. I love the screenwithenvy too!

I hope you can give me some advice on my current predicament. During lockdown and retirement I built a 12' × 10' shed/mancave. All seemed well until recently when water penetration/seeping was coming through the featherboard which is causing condensation on the roof which is very damp and is causing mould. The roof was felted and sealed with a blowtorch no screws or nails used.The outside wood has been painted with Sadolin paint the result is visible from the outside as the water is just sitting on the surface ( Like a good car wax. ) Would it be ok to seal/paint the inside with something like Black Jack all weather roof coating? I have attached a couple of photos. Thank you and all the best for 2021.
