Pocket doors have come on a lot in the last 10 years or so, the modern kits with metal cassettes and pre-finished mouldings are very very good.

You can get fire rated ones to  :y

For me it was the choice of a single door or double door, both of which would effectively open out into the middle of room and eat space up so this is a perfect solution. Should have it fitted this weekend so it will be interesting to see.

Yep, the one we fitted to the bathroom was great - nice metal frame, soft close, smooth action etc; just hung a regular cheap door in it in the end as it was going out for rent, but so much better than having a door open in to the bathroom.

Blimey, a long time since an update!

Not stopped working on the extension (between visits abroad on business and a recent Reg Prescott casualty trip!) and got loads done.

Major milestone is that all plastering is now done and this includes the 'man cave', former dining room and kitchen (now one room) and the area around the pocket door in the hall way. All walls and ceilings were stripped of existing plasterboard and new installed to get the best possible finish.

And despite of the A&E visit, still managed to get the walls and ceilings in the man cave painted and the laminate down over the weekend.

You need more sockets. ;D

Can you have to many?  ;D :y

Quite a few of the holes are for speaker cable points (surround sound), HDMI, Ethernet, Coax, optical etc.

It was the position of the bone that stopped the saw getting a tendon or artery, you could see a cut in it...... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

No. :y ;D

(Biggest peeve of now living in a 1930s house .. even the 2012 extension had the bare minimum of sockets fitted to it)
