What "man jobs" have you done today?

[Buffman]

Thought this was an innovative one to make sure my cover panel was tight in, used a plasterboard prop

Should I bother covering the cut edges in a bathroom before putting the worktop in? Should have the worktop coming end of the week I hope.










Below picture was actually before it was glued on but you get the idea..

Cylinder arrived from Amazon. 2 minute job to swap over and probably cheaper than getting new keys cut to existing locks, lol.

Did a service to my Mazda 6.

Previous owner had a TV in just about every room. I finally got round to removing the one in the bathroom built into the wall. Filled the hole with batons and plasterboard then covered the missing tiles with a mirror. Didn't want the thing sat there on standby anymore.

What's the deal with tvs everywhere? We've dropped it down to one in the living room and one in the study. Don't see the need for more until the kids are a bit bigger.

Certainly seems to be a thing these days We only watch a couple of hours in the evening in the lounge. Have never watched TV while taking a bath. It was a pain to remove too.

Tbh I'm surprised the steam didn't do it in.

Probably a sealed unit specific for bathroom use. The front was reflective glass to make it look like a mirror. I never switched it on. It weighed an absolute tonne and was proper wedged in place.

To be fair, I've always wanted a TV or at least speakers in the bath. I tend to either watch youtube or read a book while I'm in the bath, and quite often have music playing from another room. So I could see the benefit

 

[IvanDobskey]

A bit of music is one thing, but I'm never in the bath long enough to actually watch any actual tv content. I have never seen the point in having a TV in the bedroom either to be honest. Each to their own I guess

We have one in our bedroom (so one in the living room, one in the bedroom) and I never watch it. The wife insists she does when I'm not home, so it stays. But I hate it being there.

I think it's more of a female thing Previous owner of our house was a single woman with kids. I think a TV in the bedroom just encourages laziness. I tend to get up and start the day nice and early

Hah! She watches it in the evening apparently. Who knows! All I know is that I hate it, but I need to pick my battles.

The flip side is that I'm aiming to move the record player that's currently in my small office room to the spare room. Hopefully I can offset these two things against each other.

Have not posted any updates in a while so here goes, finished kitchen in our supported living bungalow.

Started Kitchen in our business premises and boy what a pain in the butt, layers of flooring to be taken up etc.

Should have worktops on by the end of the week.

Looks great mate

Business Kitchen












First part of kitchen tall units was from ex-display from Magnet, then matched with base units from Howdens, though that didn't go as planned as there 600mm units sat to low so had to buy to from Howdens to match up better against the tall units.

But......but, What if strictly is on and you need a poo?!

Damn, completely forgot about that scenario

I'd better get back down the skip

Decking collapsed recently. Supporting boards underneath have rotted away. Have had a right old mare trying to get it up, had to resort to cutting whats left of the “screws” with a long recip blade as was taking too long trying to get them out.

Took about 4 hours to get this far as they am trying to save the boards as they are still ok or it would be going much faster!

Right pig of a job.
