Not the best material but they're all being painted so it doesn't make too much difference. We made them to fit with double glazing as well. Pine won't last as long with the weather in Valpo of course but i can live with that.<BR/><BR/>Other period stuff-all the cornices and moldings are from a place in santiago-really cheap and they look great. They're all from original antique molds. <BR/><BR/>The antique tiles we're putting in the bathroom are also from santiago, each one handmade. There are now 2 factories making them, Baldosas Super and Baldosas Cordova. Cordova has better quality. <BR/><BR/>Everything else we salvaged and re-used-all the doors and floorboards etc. There's a great timber and all things wood salvage yard in Valpo as well that we bought a couple of things from, quite cheap. but the guy is totally chanta :)Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900725715325926065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-36569284933741101362008-01-10T20:09:00.000-03:002008-01-10T20:09:00.000-03:00Hey Matt:Is not an insult at all (well,...maybe a ...Hey Matt:<BR/>Is not an insult at all (well,...maybe a little bit, ha, ha, ha), so nothing there to apologize about.<BR/>A technical question: how do you manage to get the replacements for the windows (both French and Sash)? or for any other period feature? It was really hard to find and expensive when I tried to do it when I was working in Chile in those days.<BR/>¡Pásalo bien!<BR/>SantiagoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-78787198620976017102008-01-10T10:24:00.000-03:002008-01-10T10:24:00.000-03:00Hey, thanks for pointing that out-i´ll get it chan...Hey, thanks for pointing that out-i´ll get it changed as soon as i´m back in Chile-and sorry for the insult to your architecture school :) I know what it´s like when people get your uni mixed up-I was at University of Leeds and god damn anyone that says i went to Leeds Met..!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900725715325926065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198903954394494705.post-69275361244525391782008-01-09T22:02:00.000-03:002008-01-09T22:02:00.000-03:00Hey Matt:Funny that the house you're working on lo...Hey Matt:<BR/>Funny that the house you're working on looks like an english house!
