What "man jobs" have you done today?

[andy_mk3]

Built a cupboard and changed the colour. Also ditched the cheap Amazon lamp and went for some old LED strip lighting I had nearby. Now of course I need the inevitable keyboard swap as I went for one without RGB


Cross post from the desk thread. Painting peg board is my new least favourite thing.

For anyone looking to undertake a drawer project, the runners are absolutely dirt cheap from Amazon in practically any size.

You post an awful lot of **** on here, but I have to say you've done a sterling job there

You've done a good job there. I turned my under stairs into wine storage, not sure which is the better use

Wine storage obviously.

Cheers chaps. Can't argue with you there either Andy

Wine storage obviously.

Agreed!

630sqft means wine must be inhaled as it gets delivered unfortunately

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

I've vacuumed, cleaned the bathrooms, done a food shop and treated myself to this.


That's manly.....right?

Halfway through tiling the kitchen. Second half to do tomorrow , plus grouting.



Pleased with the result so far.

It was already installed when we moved in, but had no tiles or splashback. I thought it might be a b&q kitchen, but not sure.

At what point is it funny to point out some tiles not following the pattern?



Looks like a swell job.

Haha, yeah I noticed that afterwards

I wasn't really trying to follow any pattern, just keep same colour tiles apart. Guess I fell into a pattern for a while..

Taking much longer than I'd hoped though. Some really tricky cuts round the window ledge and a socket today.

@IvanDobskey - nice job

After local farmer did the road side and top of the side hedge, decided to do the house side and edge when the sun came out

It was a tad scruffy

Good trim and hack of the ivy off the wall

Don't mind the cutting but collecting and binning the cuttings is a right PITA

 

[Delvis]

@{SAS}TB - you need a loooooooong sheet to trim them into

Ha ha ! I have a lengthy sheet of visqueen I sometimes use, then into builders bags then the tip.

This time I just swept it up and most was "deposited" in the gap between the wall and hedge and the stuff from the garden area into the green bin.

 

[robj20]

Put a carpet down on the landing and stairs. So that's finally 100% finished now.

 

[Destination]

Made a dog kennel

 

[LuckyBenski]

Finally hung the garden door I bought back in January now a friend can come and help. Got the frame and exterior painted in time for the rain, will do interior tomorrow.

Not bothering with pictures as the frame is a ****-show, as is the whole house. Must be 4 layers of flaky paint that been painted over instead of stripping/sanding.

 

[{SAS}TB]

Took a builders bag of bricks / rubble to the tip ...

Along with obligatory 46273748 Amazon boxes from the garage
