Sourcing the new length of
architrave for the doorway was not as straightforward as I expected as it comes
in various shapes (or profiles as we DIY-ers learn to call them) and the one I
needed, “ogee”, turned out to be low profile, considerably less commonly stocked than the ubiquitous “torus”,
as I went from B&Q to Jewson’s to JT Atkinson until I finally found some of
the right size at Wickes; even then it turned out that not all ogee profiles
are identical as the curves and dips didn’t quite match up exactly but I
decided it was close enough for me and the alternative would have been to whittle
out the shape myself.
