Today's DIY

[dominion]

I paid the decorater today - does that count?

He's finished? Can you send him down, I need someone to paint the outside of my house.

I have just finished stripping my room today so I got to wait till my roof is fixed then I can get on with redecorating, Infact I have only just finished

[Wheeze]

Put another layer of instant metal on the hole in the hot water tank.

New carpets fitted today (not by me) - two doors required some drastic plaining (by me)

Moved into the newly finished living room to find that the coaxial cable wasnt giving any picture - guess who will be squeezing under the floorboards tomorrow to see whats gone wrong (clue - not the wife)

My print tray full of pebbles and fossils fell off the wall yesterday with a gigantic clatter and ensuing mayhem. I plan to put it up today...does that count as DIY? I will be mainly using rawlplugs and screws as opposed to the small tacks I used previously....

It will count as DIY if it falls off again.

Don't forget to drill the hole slightly smaller than the plug, you should be having to hammer the plug gently to get it in the last half inch. Avoid, if you can, using the drill on hammer setting or your hole might end up bigger than expected; hammer setting is for concrete and brick.

I keep my minerals on an Ikea Laxvik glass shelf, dust is such a pain in the ar$e though!

Naahhh. Just remember, if it doesn't go, hit it harder.
