Excellent work. :)

Impressive stuff. When are you going to make the oak framed windows to match?

Really like your work, but a lot of weight hanging off the wall. Any chance of front pillars? Top job.

 

It is weighty. To counter this there are 8 Fischer m12 anchor bolts and the horne of each bracket is in the brickwork. Doing the tiling I've put my dainty 15 stone on it. I reckon it should be ok.

Mmmm having gone from softwood regency style windows and fought to keep paint on them and keep rot away I think I'll stick with my plastic ones!

Fair enough! I am not a fan of UPVC myself and have just had timber ones fitted with aluminium facings. Although I didn't make them myself.

 

I also notice you have a range of different tiles...sorry I'm detracting from the excellent oak porch. Any photos of construction?

The house was built with a mix of pantiles/rosemary skirt. Guess the builder around WW1 was just using what he had around. We copied the style when the house was recovered 20 years ago. The new porch tiles are clays wheres we used concretes.

 

The construction is a you see it - Pegged M&T's with a few coach screws to a give a helping hand

Nice job. Dont know what you actually do for a living, but i reckon you could make a bob or two designing, making and installing them.
