Repair or replace..

 

The side entrance to our courtyard which has survived the test of time and many repairs had to be replaced or have this century's repair, we chose the repair option. 

A friend donated some weathered oak which I used and am fairly happy with the result. 

BTW if anyone needs this type of bolt I have plenty you can have. Bizarrely it's cheaper to buy 50 off than 12 off in Bricomarche. Sizes 7 x 70 and 6 x 45.
