Lead times are improving with some things. I think they said about 4 weeks when we first contacted them. 
they wouldn’t even quote for the front door we wanted because they’re taking so long to get.

During covid one glass furnace in france got shut completely and another somewhere - cant remember Exactly - due to covid shortages had its temperatures reduced?Apparently they take a very long time to heat up. Its caused huge backlogs/problems for anything that required glass...I don't think the French one recovered at all.

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long SC Smile

We had a couple of doors and a window for the back of our house fitted by a local firm earlier in the year they got delayed when the fitters caught covid.

Windows will still get put in even if the fitters catch anything nasty because it’s us  Big Grin .


Which is a little daunting if I’m honest

Now  you've got me wondering Veggie, c'mon spill the beans? Huh

It was Scarlet's comment about a Bloke thing - can't really remember what I said -, something about it being a bloke thing to say. Don't worry, Vinnie I wouldn't be really rude to you. Wink

Finished putting all the baton on. Apart from a little bit around the windows and doors. Which will go in after they’ve been fitted. Clad another wall.
Done lot of other bits and lots of planning, how, when, with what and where’s it coming from. Lot of chatting & giving tours  Big Grin .
