My next door neighbours front brick wall came down onto the pavement and on careful inspection there were cracks in the cement on the bit that was left. We did not have any damage, just the garden furniture blown about. however there was quite a bit of tree damage on the local lanes. These storms usually find the weakest spots.

That is what I wanted again without the draft due to the old door being warped. It surprised me that they didn't come and double check the requirement when the glass maker queried the design...
