"Easiest fix for this is to put a thin timber batten on the wall first and then fix the curtain pole to the batten. Far easier and once you paint the batten the same colour as the wall you barely see it. " What this guy said. For me it's plastering and tiling hate both jobs with a passion. | |||

"Fitting door frames and doors. Just fucking awful, although it may just be my house where there doesn’t seem to be a single structural right angle anywhere." This! 5 doors need replacing, I know I can do them but I also know that no walls and frames are straight (joys of an old house) so it won't be straight forward. And because I could do them I refuse to pay someone to do it for me I might move instead... | |||

Only misery lies that way. I built a raised 25m2 paved patio over the summer and that was easier than fitting the last door frame I put in. | |||

"First time balancing radiators today and it turns out I hate that... LvM I don’t even know what that means. It could mean bleeding the radiators, but not sure." Bleeding gets the trapped air out. Balancing is getting all the radiators in your house to heat up evenly by fiddling with the valves and a multimeter LvM | |||
