DIY ****ers

Needs a title ... 'The Spillage' perhaps?

 

Any significance in the picture of New York?
Are the kids named Empire, Macy or Teetee (Trump tower) like some of the celebs out there

 

If you have plasterboard walls, these things are bloody brilliant. Just push them in, hang the picture…job done

 

No we have visited there and liked the picture.

 

So resealing the shower tray. Watched a YouTube vid and looks easy enough. Stripped all the old stuff and cleaned up and all is going well.

So I apply the glue stuff as per vid but when you let go of the handle of the gun the stuff keeps coming! Stuff is dropping all over the place so I put it down on a towel and use the little plastic tool I have to smooth out the sealant. That doesn't go really well. At this point there's sealant everywhere, I'm covered in it and I'm trying to wash it off so it's all over the tap and sink, I forget to put the gun on a towel so it's all over the floor and I step in it.

Never again.

I've been doing it since 11 and have just finished.

 

There's a lever on the gun that releases the pressure so the sealant stops coming out.

 

It's in the bin now so irrelevant.

 

it's nice to know i'm not alone in my incompetence

 

I shudder at the thought that Schlem is the voice of reason in here

 

Nice and the colours

 

Looks okay in the photo but it's not a great job took me from 11-3pm

 

This is the reason I stopped doing DIY, I don't have the patience and I'm **** at it.

If I'd known you was going to do sealant, I'd have said pay someone to do it.

 

To do sealant properly you need a big finger, preferably a soapy wet one.

 

Aye, but there's only so much soap one house can fit in

 

Get a screw handy and screw it into the nozzle.
I wont even charge u for that.

 

Cling film is your friend.

 

Or one of these badboys
