    after screed dries - is it floors next or doors???

    Re: after screed drys - is it floors next or doors??? If the doors and architrave go on first, you will have to allow for the height your tiles or wooden floors are going to add to your finished floor height. That said, if you are going for solid wood floors, you'll have to let the flooring...

    You mean 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption' I presume ..... Oh and I also presume you mean his novella 'The Body' which was made into the movie 'Stand By Me'. Seems to me that being 'not a fan of his work' translates roughly into not having much of a clue about his work at all.
