Ciro is my local glazier, as well as glass he also does some basic handyman work. I've been to him a couple of times to get a replacement louver for the bathroom window and a mirror cut to size but this time I had an unusual job - replacing the hardened security glass beside my front door and installing a cat door underneath it.
The old glass was this ugly beer bottle brown stuff that looked very old fashioned and I wanted some new frosted glass. I went around to his workshop and choose the new frosted glass from a few samples that were lying around. In the end I went home with two samples to mull over exactly what kind of frosted glass I wanted.
I'm a bit of handyman and tight with my money so I installed the cat door myself leaving the glass fitting to Ciro. Ciro was a great guy to work with although like most tradesmen pinning him down to an exact time is impossible even though his house and workshop are only a few blocks from my house. read more
