Our old (1904?) house has an ugly old fuse-board that we'd like to replace as it is not only ugly, but protrudes out excessively into the hallway. We'd like some options on what we can do, and how much it will cost.

Windows

we need 3 small windows fixed. They are small windows you push out and are at the top of the window configuration in one bedroom and lounge. It is a state house (the windows are of that era) They don't shut properly at the moment and let in lots of draft. The hinges look like they have dropped so they just need pushing up and in, the windows can then be nailed or screwed shut. The access to the outside of the window will need a ladder as it is the top level where the windows are.

Interior Bifold Doors

New & Replacement Metal Roof

Waitakere

I need new bifold doors made for my laundry. The frame size is 1990mm x 1070mm. I don't mind if they are MDF or louvre but apparently they are a tricky size and therefore may need to be made. I have the top track left over in the top of the frame from the last pair that were there. I'm not really interested in them being finished as such as I would like to paint them myself, just have to get them in first!
