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 
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.

Which is a little daunting if I’m honest

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.

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 .
