HELP IS AT HAND If you are still scratching your head and feel at a loss as to where to start, there are many apps that can help you. The beauty of those apps is that not only they will give you a fairly accurate idea of where you are heading but as they are in your pocket at all times (on your phones and tablets), you can refer to what you are hoping for with the tradesmen and showroom staff so everyone sings from the same hymn sheet.
