The jobs you hate

Today I faced my nemesis once again: installing a curtain pole.

Between the plaster crumbling when you drill the holes (the joy of old houses), the tiny screw you accidentally drop and finds its way…well… you don’t know where and of course you don’t have any spare, the awkward position drilling with your arms stretched to the max above your head (the joy of high ceilings), and how am I supposed to hold the pole, the fixings, a screw and a screwdriver with only two hands?

And of course when you’re done you find it’s not straight. You throw the most suspicious of looks at your spirit level only to find that’s it’s the ceiling itself which is not straight (the joy of old houses bis).

That sort of job is a fucking nightmare to me: never goes to plan!

Please tell me I’m not the only incompetent one. Is there any job which consistently gets the better of you?

PS: I don’t even know why I did it , the neighbours never officially complained about me being naked in my bedroom.

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.

Anything that means bending down or reaching up high.

I hate cleaning anything oily or greasy, as I don't like greasy hands.

My boudoir - S Wales

Curtain poles!

My ceilings are 13 feet high, and my windows are almost floor to ceiling, and when I was isolating last summer, I stood on the bottom of the curtain and pulled the whole things down, it knocked my tv off the wall and broke that, and for about 6 months I was isolated and alone with my broken curtain pole and tv.

It was a bad summer.

I haven’t fully recovered from the trauma!

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...

Installing blinds when you have to cut each flipping blade to size and then faff with the little blocks at each end which has the smallest gaps between each screwhole. Then drilling the hole only to find the lintel around the window frame that snags and breaks your drill bit Is it obvious that this has happened to me before!

Very similar hatred towards:

Hanging curtain poles

Hanging blind's

Hammering cable clips

(fucking tiny nails)

Fitting doors

And a love/hate relationship with using a scraper on moss and s between patio bricks and jet washing... The work is strangely therapeutic, looks great when done, but takes FOREVER!

And another love/hate with washing the car...

My washing pile is like a never ending fountain of clothes. And I put a load of washing on each day to TRY and keep it down.

Seriously, there are times when I could lay down in said fountain of clothes and weep, except then I’d probably have my nose pressed into some skid marked Knick knacks of my kids, and that would just push me over the edge.

I don't iron - so I can't say that.

Probably the time in the middle of organising something, everything is laid out on the floor, the bed, the sideboard and you wonder why the hell you started it. - I love organising though, it's just that self pity in the middle.

Don’t. Ever. 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.

I quite like DIY. Old houses are a bitch to work on though…

But

Plumbing the drainage for my bloody bath is the biggest ballache I’ve ever had (including the ex husband) re plumbing the pipe work into the bathroom was fun…no leaks brill

Do you think I can do the drainage?! No and just when it all works properly…do do a test run part fill bath empty run downstairs and nooooo leaks all happy

Then you have a bath…and it fucking leaks now where is it?! Well I have to move the bath etc to fecking find it

Never ever will I touch a bloody bath again! Any other DIY and I’m game

P.s any handy plumbers out there?!

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
