    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    The wife has always wanted the TV on the chimney breast rather than in the corner of the room so finally gave in and grabbed some cheap IKEA floating cabinets and hacked 2 of them with a saw to wrap around the chimney breast. She’s happy so a new TV for me at Xmas :D

    Impact noise from neighbours

    A couple of years ago our detached neighbour went from a tarmac driveway to a block driveway with a small gravel border between us, the noise difference of someone walking up and down went from hardly audible to sounding like they were stomping up and down with boots on it drove the misses nuts...

    Family saying they don't take a ball on walks as the dog used to be obsessed so for the past year just walk the dog without, seems like the dog likes the water but eye witness first to find the dog says it was bone dry. As anyone who owns a springer knows its very strange the dog didn't enter...
