That's a lot of hard work!! Loving the flooring & can't believe you made that bathroom vanity, it's fab.

Bifold's look so classy, I wan't them but worried about not having flyscreen doors with bugs etc. But yeah, very well done. thanks, I can't wait till it's all polished! but I have to finishe the plastering and painting before that..... you can get flyscreens for them they're like a roller blind so when the do is closed the case looks like part of the architrave but when you want the flyscreen you just pull it out and lock it in place. the big problems with them are that; 1. People walk through them, which knocks them out of the guides; 2. you have to hold it if you open the screen to walk through otherwise it rolls back up which can be a pain.
