I should not complain. My conservatory is finally finished. So, when it is really really sunny, I might miss the opaque plastic. But hey, I can still open my big sun shade. Otherwise I am very pleased. I gained a new room.
I learnt something how not to clean it. Don't use a hosepipe to blast water on it from below. The whole system is constructed to protect against rain (that comes from above). Any water from the wrong direction will cause leaks.
I am fed up living in a cold house. Follow me on the quest to make my house warm. I am going to talk to people who already have done it, knocking on doors whenever I spot a nicely padded wall or shiny double-glazed windows. I shall meet double glazing companies, talk to the Energy Saving Trust, deal with the Association of Insulation Companies. Then of course I shall meet the builders. Will it be expensive? Will it be fun? I only hope it will be warmer.

Plastic? Me???
Just changed my mind. And all my apologies to the lovely people who sold me the high quality uPVC plastic windows. They led me out of the contract. Main reason is not that I fell out of love with plastic, the reason I am choosing timber is how the windows look in the room. I would loose the lovely frames. And they are so much part of the original look of the house. I ordered timber and will have to paint them every ten years again and again. (Hopefully).
