Increase your living space without moving!!!!!
« on: April 14, 2006, 00:02:55 AM »
We have just gained 300sq'ft of living space thanks to Oguz, cousin of Ahmet of All Aspects. He has just enclosed our terrace with smart roll and zip up plastic walls and windows and curtains - he has done a brilliant job! We can now utilise our terrace at all times of the year and we have not lost our lovely view of the bird reserve. Pete and I were out on the terrace having our evening meal tonight and the temp was 22.5c (outside was about 17c not counting the windchill).

Why didn't we think of this before? I guess because we never thought of it, until we saw the new awning on the Forum bar. Ours is his prototype for terraces/balconies and for sure it was not an easy project. Oguz took great pains to get it right - wooden battens and screws rather than staples and we are totally amazed at how good the job was and the extra dimension it has given us to outdoor/indoor living. We could even put some one up on the terrace if necessary as it can now be mozzi proof and totally private - Pete worked it out we could sleep 12 people there if we had enough beds - though it would look like a dormitory!!!!!  

Thanks Oguz and team for a great job

Chrissie and Pete   :) 8)

Chrissie,  I too noticed the 'enclosure' to the forum and it also got me thinking!  Could you give an indication to the cost as I intend to try and 'sweet-talk' Johnny into having the same done at ours, at least that way he could eat dinner on the terrace in the evening without being paranoid about the mossies!!!

Much love
Totty and Johnny

It was about £600 but it is for a terrace 30' long by 9' high. We've also had some side panels done. We are told that the Forum  Bar awning  has 20m of zips but ours has 40m!  so all in all well worth the money.

It sounds like a good investment as it gives you so much 'sitting outside' time!

Sorry Cheryl,we are unable to upload our pictures from the camera at the moment but you are quite welcome to pop round and see if you are out in Calis this year.  In the meantime if we can eventually get the photos sorted we will e-mail you one.
