No probs at all and yes I was expecting to pay a bit more than that for a decent mirror,!

Built a table.
That looks great.
I’ve been stood on top of the garage trimming our hedge. Flat roof, I climb up on a ladder. I’ve then been chopping up what’s left of a few pallets so they fit in the bin.

Nice table Raymond !
Just signed up for some fitted wardrobes so bad to make a start on getting the bedroom sorted (currently my Mrs' WFH office space)
Before
Removed the wooden curtain rail batten above the window and filled.
Filled / sanded all the holes / cracks etc.
Three coats of paint to the walls and ceilings and filled / sanded all the holes and lumps on the "feature wall"

After
Glossing next weekend and new carpet, curtains / shutters etc once the fitted wardrobes / dressing table and bedside cupboards are here

Good idea! my plug sockets are quite high too so I decided not to put a double G socket with the brush face plate as I didn't want to be looking at it. That's an excellent solution.

Very smart. Are the blue boxes sound absorption?

Appreciate that, thanks.
Cheers, yes - they're DIY bass traps I made a few months ago.
Looks wonky.
*runs*
Don’t, I put up a few mirrors a few weeks ago with a laser level. Fixings went in bang on level (2 per mirror), attached said mirror and it was well on the wonk.
Flipped it over and the fixing points were not level!!
Fixed it with a piece of folded paper to rise one side up a few mm and get it level.

Lol, I'm saying nothing
It was inspected and signed off by the Boss before I cleaned up and put the tools away
I'm not that stupid

Took a tree branch seasoning from the log store
Trimmed the side shoots
Drilled both ends
Took some 6mm paracord
And a few tools
Tied and washered the cord, wrapped the ends
Both ends
Lashed it to the chicken run roof
Waiting for the trapeze show...

Haha. Is this where the wife goes if she comments on your wonky mirror?

No it's where I go for some peace and quiet
