Thanks for the kind comments guys.
The colour is chosen to match the rest of the building, which was possibly painted when all the old folks from when I was young were my age. I think we're now going to have to paint the rest of the woodwork to match this door. Bearing in mind most of the other doors are 10' x 10' I'm not looking forward to this. Not only is there a DPC in, it goes all the way round the frame from top to bottom with a foot overlap and there's another layer of polythene on the sill below the wedges, don't ask why, I didn't. I think we're expecting a typhoon, another 40 day flood plus a standard English climate. I'm still trying to work out how to get a decent bead of silicone round the front face with half a ton of "Satan's Snot" butting up to rough hewn brick on one side and 360 degree DPC on the other. I'm also doing this free-of-charge so may have to explain prior commitments when they want a Prince-Charles-Shaped leaded window fitted, to match a flowered flock interior finish in some shade just South of Violet!
