Those brass screws bounce a whole lot higher than normal screws I've lost two to the garden and I was not happy.<br /><br />Were the window fittings branded? If so, I would be talking to the manufacturer as well as the shop where you bought them.<br /><br />The study is looking a treat, what are you planning on do light fitting wise?Helenhttp://www.helenthura.comnoreply@blogger.com
