Haha that's exactly what I thought once it was assembled
Fortunately, now it is adorned with utensils and a hob, it looks less lav-like.

Mended a tower fan which was brought down from storage in the loft. Plugged it in and the internal fan slowly squealed its way through one revolution and stopped. Took it apart, vacumed out the huge amount of dust and fluff inside (it's about 10 years old) dabbed a bit of silicon grease on the bearing surfaces of the cam and the motor, reassembled and she works a treat.

Yesterday... Dug out 16 rubble sacks worth of crappy soil from this border, membraned, planted and put bark down. Need another bag of bark and trim the membrane around the fence posts. Few more bags to fill from the pile down the bottom.
Edges need work!
Today... Second and third coat of paint in the garage. Need another couple of litres of paint
breeze blocks drink it.

Kiln dried surely?I did our brick weave drive the other day, I wore wellies for that very reason.
Just need some sharp sand now which is not exactly essential...
We’re picking up some of this today: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Dansand-No-Grow-Block-Paving-Sand---20kg/p/119555
I would have bought some different cheaper stuff from TP or Buildbase but they’re close or trade only at the moment.

Tore the deck apart as lights had stopped working. Luckily Screwfix had replacements, fitted new lights along with a new waterproof outdoor socket.
Wearing sandals when using a pressure washer isn't really a good idea in case you hit your foot
Toe nails are over-rated anyway lol.

Haha! That’s what the other half says. I also did the strimming today in them
Had this delivered yesterday
Set up the log splitter this morning
By three this afternoon Got this pile of split logs -the delivered ones were way too big. - This is only about 1/2 of the pile. and it's that high inside and I have only just thrown them in.
I would recommend anyone to get a splitter it's way more easy than a axe/maul.
This is the foreman giving me a "Why have you stopped working" look
I don't know why the log man thought I had a commercial burner. -Got to get chainsaw out and cut these and more on the pile in half.
Tomorrow will be a stacking day. - I am not sure if this lot will fit in but I have room in another two stores.
Never ever get rid of your bath for a large walk in shower -I really need a soak in bath now -my back is stiff.
Edit 1
Log store didn't quite take all the wood -have to split another barrow load
