Hi,
Thanks for your good wishes Nick. I do intend to develop my CAD skills but I never expect to go overboard resulting in needing a wall to wall computer; I'm simply interested in the subject; I was top of the school in technical drawing winning an award and this was only 50 years ago using drawing instruments.
What a different world CAD is though and I think it fair to say I'm hooked.
Very well done with your approach to your window replacement Nick; I did exactly the same 36 years ago and only used hand tools and a single speed power drill. From then on I started to make lots of things for our home saving a vast amount of money whilst I gathered a decent set of tools and machines. One fitted kitchen made in a home workshop will pay for some serious kit compared to getting someone in to do the job and the satisfaction gained doing it yourself is tremendous; neighbours hate it though because as I found out they resented me doing such work as they had to get someone in.
How about a thread covering your window replacement as I for one would be very interested.
Kind regards, Col
