    What do you think of this lot Nate ?

    Seceuroglide by SWS UK

    http://www.sws.co.uk/gdoors.asp

    My mate had one fitted and it seals the garage up nicely no draughts. I have an internal garage full of fish tanks so I need the insulated auto roller door to keep my fishes warm in winter and give me access to the back of the house because I am mid terrace with no side way.

    I had a quote to do mine about 18 months back by

    http://www.garagedoor.co.uk/ who did an adequate job of my mates. I have seen some shocking jobs recently having been intending to get it done. One installer had diamond cut the frame out and taken half the supporting pillar with it and my dad had a simple hendersons door fitted by someone who was a stranger to a spirit level :rolleyes:

    I planned to get it done in the next couple of months if you are interested [​IMG] ?

    I work for Sure Start (supporting families with children under 5). Supposedly working in administration, but my very first day in the office I was asked to dress as an elf and help out with the childrens christmas party! Bit of an ice breaker I can tell you!!

    Retired from Local Government several years ago after 25 years service. Didn't want to retire would love to still be working.

    However, since purchasing my computer just over 2 years ago, I have learned an awful lot from GC (and MichaelmasDaisy) and have just completed setting up my own forum - 'borrowing' lots of ideas from Nathan! It has taken several weeks, and the final few steps to get it on line have been the hardest.
    And so today - www.alanpricefansforum.org.uk has finally arrived!

    It will take time to build up - I remember GC when MD and I signed on - can't believe how it has grown. So I would appreciate any postings from people interested in 60s and 70s music if you have time to spare from GC. :D

    (not poaching your members Nathan)


    p.s. That sounds an interesting job Sheppy! [​IMG]
