What "man jobs" have you done today?

[Buffman]

Dying!

How come you didn't do it before the kitchen? Does it mean the flooring will now still marry up to the end panels/floor?
I thought itd be difficult to fit chipboard sheets after this?

I suppose if you're overboarding with ply after and fitting LVT should be sound

Combination of factors....I hadn't expected to get it done so quick tbh. I needed the kitchen livable whilst I refitted it; I also wasn't expecting that to happen so quick! Plinths will go down once my final floor is in.

The units are staying on top of the old t&g board so not affected. It just meant I had to slide the PIR in.

Off we go again...

9 chases in just over an hour!

Is that solid plaster then, looks very thick.

Solid brick. The plaster is about 10mm horsehair stuff from god knows when.

Started the ordeal of sanding the yellow crap too. Oddly the top bit is harder than the bottom bit (picture rail being the divider!). I've prioritised the top so at least I can paint the ceiling and the top 12 inches.

Floors up tomorrow for wiring and insulation, however I'm definitely a sheet or two of PIR short

Busy day today....

Cut the grass

Strimmed the verge at the side of the house

Trimmed the shrubbery to the drive down to the road

Cleaned out the chickens

Weeded the top patio

Strimmed the nettles from the borders

"Terry Tractor" cut the big hedge that runs along the verge but I had to cut the "house side"
.

I may have cut through the hedge strimmer lead ....

Maybe it's a sign to buy a new battery operated one

Beautiful views from the house
Did the chickens miss you?

Repaired the parasol mechanism that the wife broke.
Drank some rum.

Off to the beach tomorrow.
Though times.

Are you going to remove the old plaster to brick and then wet plaster again or drywall dot and dab

Probably just fill in the chases and paint I imagine?

Lawn is very dire after having the garden entirely demolished and a new fence put in. So went out today intending to get some decent garden tools from Screwfix. Spotted everything we needed in B&M so got those instead, but feel stupid for buying cheap tools...

Got home and entirely failed to start garden work as too tired. So we just liberally sprayed the lawn weeds (tons of them, more weeds than grass) as we'll be reseeding soon.
