Perspex V.S. Polycarbonate (Cut-To-Size)

The other day I received what will become my shed window, and though not what I initially set out to use, I am extremely happy with my purchase. As you may know, I am a fan of Perspex. Always have been (since August). But after carrying out a bit or research I found something that would suit my purposes that little bit more.

This time around I have chosen to go with polycarbonate, which is one of those things that I know I have heard about before but have no idea where, when or how I ever would have. I admit that I feel like a bit of a Judas for so readily betraying my beloved Perspex, but in the words of 4 lovely 90's singers 'Cest la Vie'.

I still have this album somewhere

I doubt I have earned my place inside the mouth of the giant serpent in the bottom, icy level of Dante's hell however, as I did remain loyal to my plastic providers (look below), which must surly count for something. Anyway, I ordered my Polycarbonate cut to size so that I would have to do as little work as possible and once the three of them arrived, on Thursday morning, I had them up and running straight away, on Sunday afternoon.

Probably should have cleaned 

Let me know what you think of my handiwork; you're gonna be jealous (don't be, it's the cut to size polycarbonate that makes it look good not my amateurish fumblings. In fact you can get your very own right here).  

My shed with new windows in & old windows out

Oh! and in case you were wondering, Call Of Duty is going very well, and I have no doubt it will keep me occupied until the new Assassins Creed(s) comes out on Friday! I have 0 idea which I am going to play first.....probably AC: Rogue as though AC: Unity is set in a cool time period, Rogue sounds like it has an awesome storyline. I shall let you know.

Winter DIY

Apologies for the lack of blogging recently, I have been rather fortunate in that I have not had to do any DIY for like 3 month; but it would seem the well from which my good fortune sprang from has run dry,

Yes indeed, I have been tasked with completing various DIY orientated tasks in preparation for what is apparently going to be coldest winter in over 100 years, or so we hear from reputable source such as:

The Express,

The Bristol Post,

and various other news outletts that seem to enjoy riling people up and being constantly pesimistic.

Anyway, I have been 'encouraged' to ready our various garden fixtures for the inevidable ice age that's coming our way. It could be worse though I have to admit, I have been waiting for an excuse to use some more plastic ever since I attached those Perspex sheets to my stair case back in August, and as I shall be putting in some new shed windows I think I may just have to turn to my new glass-like plastic friend.

I intend to do this over the next couple of days, as I have a bit of time off work, so pictures of my glorious new plastic shed windows will follow soon (but not too soon as I am about to head to Game to pick up my copy of Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare).
