Mystery solved!
As many of you know, our little shed had a damaged door after a storm, a task that waited and waited. One day I went out and found that it had been repaired by an unknown hand, and much better standard than we would have managed ! Despite asking around, no one admitted to doing it.
Today the mystery was solved, a repeat customer admitted he had repaired it quietly, So a big thank you to Gary, and so nice to put a face to the kind assistance
