      Excellent solution there!

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

      The journey is the objective.

        Don’t put ideas in to his head.

          @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!

            Wow, those look amazing.

            We have some copper ones we bought from

            https://limehouselighting.com/

            which we put in 15 years ago….

            They look pretty damn good now....

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

                @Chris You got me worried, I had to check :D.  Must have been a trick of the light…..All intact after I did some gentle remodelling of the spring bar 🙂

                That's a relief 🙂

                          @neph93 I could see myself grabbing a corner of that couch and maybe some of that bread–-and of course some wine.

                                I believe that's the Robinson of England Chesterfield. I might have put @Giles onto them, and can confirm that they're excellent sofas. 🙂

                                  Not sure how I came across this topic but really great journal. I’m about an hour into looking at pictures and reading, as a home builder/developer I live for this stuff.
                                  Such an amazing addition, you did absolutely killer job. Very cool how involved you were in the process… but not sure if I would’ve loved it if I was the General Contractor lol 😳😉

                                    Thank you very much.

                                    I was the general contractor 🙂 Which is why it took so long. I had to do everything in series because a) I did not know what I was doing and b) I did not have the luxury of juggling staff from one job to another...

                                      I see a pattern emerging here. Although that doesn't make it a bad thing

                                            The use of reclaimed or saved materials is great. I won’t clog up your topic but the house I built before my current house I used some 18th century shutters from France as sliding doors, reclaimed Marie Antoinette “shutter dogs” on the exterior shutters, salvaged Heart Pine floating shelf for the powder vanity etc… New construction, but tried to balance the old with the new to give it a little bit more character
