Selling old double glazing

We've been keeping them in case a neighbour bought the house next to
them as it needs re-doing. However a private landlord has bought the
place instead and has asked about buying them.

Sealing with PVA
Sat, 5 Jul 2008 22:08:29 +0100

be needed?
Thanks Sam

What a pane.
Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:44:36 GMT
Busman's holiday. Decided to replace the electric fan in the kitchen window
today & typically the window pane (single glazed) cracked as I removed the
fan.
Popped down to local glass shoppe & got replacement pane of glass with a 6"
hole cut in it (how do they make that look so easy?).
Replaced the pane of ...

Basically I want something that comprises a hook on one side and an

Anybody With Experience of Honeycomb Driveways?
5 Jul 2008 10:05:23 GMT

have washed stone laid at the time because I wanted to sort out a mowing
edge first.
The driveway is now full of weeds and investigations by a builder who
looked at ...
