I then got an email telling me that the agent was bringing a prospective purchaser around so I had to take the installation apart again. When they had gone and I had finished the door I put the installation back together again.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1514\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/img_3283\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1514\" data-attachment-id=\"1514\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/22\/new-studio-week-five-with-a-break\/img_3283\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?fit=5152%2C3864&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"5152,3864\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;3.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon IXUS 185&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1553013627&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shop Floor 21\/03\/19\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Shop Floor 21\/03\/19&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Shop Floor 21\/03\/19&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?fit=584%2C438&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1514\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?resize=300%2C225&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Shop Floor 21\/03\/19\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?resize=160%2C120&amp;ssl=1 160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?w=1168&amp;ssl=1 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ian-latham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/IMG_3283.jpg?w=1752&amp;ssl=1 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1514\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shop Floor 21\/03\/19<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The door is the lighter hardboard on the left of this picture.
