DIY ****ers

A fine beer.

 

@luvgonzo j've got the same drill inc chuck key and clearly use it about as often

 

There’s also one of those in the natural history museum!

 

Finished the bedroom, bar a curtain rail and voile, which she can sort.

She gone up there with her manic cleaning head on and already smashed one of the bed side lamps to pieces.

Can hear her up there, ****ing things up.

Took me three whole full weekends and five IKEA trips, it's taken her 15 minutes to break something.

 

I admire your stamina mate..

 

I ain't tried that one

 

You need one of these monsters

 

Weirdly i "inherited" one of them when i got my first place with Mrs Solid .

 

1950/60 ish?

 

how ****ing old do you think i am

 

well that tool certainly ain't from the 2000s

 

ah you mean how old was the stuff rather than when we bought the house .
rough guess 50's early 60's .
There was a spanner which weighed almost as much as me and a plane so thick i could have squared off this puny planet . We really used to make stuff to last

 

This thread should have been created three years ago, I'd have kept you all on the edge of your seat whilst doing the entire house! Not much left to report nowadays assist from the garden; waiting in posts and plinths to be delivered atm (only been 4wks so far)

 

you did it all yourself, no help?

 

How did the wallpapering go ?

 

It didn't.

I didn't fancy attempting it by myself...So opted just to paint.....Which i'm ****ing sick of doing now....

I'm so bored of painting now,, up and down steps, lying on the floor cutting in etc.....

 

Legally couldn't fit boiler or do the re-wiring but did everything else. New bathroom, kitchen, utility room, knocked walls down, plastering, tiling, etc. All whilst working full time and the Mrs working evenings so had three kids to watch whilst at it

 

I'm very impressed mate....

 

Yep I hate painting it drives me nuts !
