          Too true… I'm not showing Hot Ingrid. Our new place has already had an extension to the cellar added into the plan. It doesn't need copper gutters too. Although they would look the tits.

            @Giles I hope that the watch is okay. ???

            Glad you aren't too badly damaged by the experience.

                And I got a harsh reminder as to how sharp cut copper is….

                Oh, how I can relate…

                      Excellent solution there!

                      Surprised you didn’t think of requesting custom GAH copper bolts for it.

                      The journey is the objective.

                          @Giles If you’re ever in the market for some copper light fixtures, Roger Pradier has a great line of copper lighting options. I installed some of our project and I think they look amazing and should patina beautifully!

                              We got these, for the new kitchen, from them too.  I really love these, nickel-coated copper…..
