I'm good at the flat pack stuff, unlike guys I read the instructions, put everything in a relevant pile and hey ho, off we go, recently assembled a gas lift bed too,

Last weekend I put a load of Venetian blinds up in my faughters house as her boyfriend is totally incapable and doesn't even want to learn

Men need to learn these skills! Tell your daughter to get a proper boyfriend!

I'm *almost* at the end of pretty much totally renovating my house, including replacing the main bathroom (new ceilings, wall out, replumb, rewire, install underfloor heating and a whole new suite- only had the tiling done as i wanted a top end job and my tiling is average)

Then I rebuilt the kitchen and built my own conservatory (kitchen ceiling replaced, more underfloor heating and rewiring etc)

Just finished the main bedroom- removing a wall to build an en-suite and also building partition walls for built in wardrobes.

Not much fazes me now, i've replaced all the gutters and soffits, built decking, built a woodshed from the remains of a bigger shed, painted the entire house exterior, installed windows, replaced drains, rendered exterior walls, installed CCYV and a full cat6 network system......should have the last bits done next year-then i can sell it and start it all again

Why put in cat6 cabling when one can use AC powerline adapters.?

I can't stand it. I also turn into Francesca Spencer and manage to louse up anything I touch. I'd much rather buy my way out of it.

I was once asked if I was handy. I said "Yeah I live round the corner". Needless to say DIY is not my thing. It took me 18 months to drill a hole in the wall

So you dont have a AC power point where you plug whatever device in without the extra hassle of running cables around..

I'm pretty much rebuilding each room, chasing out for cables and/or boarding walls- wheres the hassle running in a cable? they also use no power and rarely go wrong
