What "man jobs" have you done today?

Started to build a shed yesterday....

And finally, made one of the rear wall frames, it will be braced with a diagonal but I ran out of wood so far, and the weather (for summer which is usually predictably good here this time of year), if forecast rain for at least the next week!

The shed is going to be 3m x 2m with a double door on the longer side. I'm winging the design as I go really lol.

You not concerned about difficulty accessing that downpipe if you ever need to?
 
Installed a Ubiquiti AP on the landing ceiling and run some ethernet from my kitchen cupboard, up to a bedroom, under the bedroom floorboards and in to my airing cupboard. Tomorrow I'll continue up to my loft, terminate it to a faceplate and connect the AP.
 
been removing the branches from the nieghbours over hanging tree, some branches came down in the storms last month and ended up in my green house. Good job theres no roof on it yet.

if i had my way, i would take the whole tree away
 
I've an electrical socket in my garage that I plan to spur off to add a new socket in the adjacent hallway. I don't want to sink the cable in the wall as it's a lot of effort and not overly concerned about garage aesthetics. But is it worth running the cable vertically up from the socket and at ceiling height along the wall before dropping back down to the correct location? As opposed to just running the cable along the wall at body height.

I would run any cable that you could touch or hit with something like a ladder in plastic pipe, trunking or conduit.
 
For me its been a few days of sorting the attic out after having water entering the room through the cladding, soaking in to the insulation and blowing the plaster board. Waiting for the room to finish drying out before i look at the next steps.
In the mean time, bought some flooring, underlay and bits and bobs to sort the hallway out to distract me :D
 
Bought some LTV underlay the other day, and a profiling tool so i can template shape around stuff

I now need to buy some LTV composite click flooring for the bathroom

Fitted a new oven heating element.

Our oven stopped working just before Christmas. Fortunately we were not hosting so managed our dinners in the airfryer.

We were resigned to buy an oven but a helpful relative suggested changing the heater element. It was much cheaper and a very easy job (much easier than say connecting up a motherboard in a pc)
