:D :D Ah now I do like your style
how do ya do it I'm having talks at the moment mrs Tee would :wink:
probably not approve but I'm certain the kids will love the sense of occasion that that these doors will certainly add to arriving or leaving just about anywhere
When will your hinges arrive ??

Not quite gullwing doors, they are doors that still hinge at the front of the door but tilt upwards, so not like the 'real' gullwing (I don't think our doors could take that).

Regarding your missing avatar mat...mine went missing from photobucket...wondered if someone is guessing passwords and deleting pictures for a laugh?

Look forward to seeing these doors!
