What "man jobs" have you done today?

[Adam]

They're so cheap, just buy another to clean up the mess. Baller.

Random question but do you use them with the bags?

The bags are critical to fine work - like attaching to a sander. It stops the filter from clogging up. It obviously works well without a bag, but the filter will clog pretty quickly. I did wonder why they had bags on offer for them but it is unusable for a big sanding job without them.

...then came inside to do another push on the future nursery.

Got to be a decent euphemism in there somewhere.

He has packed up doing garden rooms - Jen did have a TikTok briefly. He did say one of his crew let him down by taking the easy $ and doing OF. I have searched extensively and have nothing to report back other than a sore wrist

Wondered why he was doing videos on his own now!

I can't get on laying a small bedroom floor let alone that amount of work.

 

[Armageus]

Yesterday evening and early this morning - cleared the living room ready for a new carpet to be fitted.

Just as well I did as carpet fitters turned up at 08:30

Aye dlockers is putting the rest of us here to shame

Time to request a banning!

Did you buy it all treated @dlockers rather than untreated then?

Love a Titan wet & dry.

They're great but wish they did a stair proof version

I still use my old Henry Hoover for DIY stuff... Not sure how it would do with wet stuff (could remove bag and find out I guess) but for other things, they are great - if it can fit up its "nose" it'll take it

My Karcher wet and dry vac has the same issue, but fortunately I noticed this before any accidents and now carry it up and down the stairs on the up side of me so the bin part cannot escape down the stairs.

Na I'm no harm. It's @Janesy B whose disruptive. Once again he's posted a start and end in a single post - and it looks like the job is finished. I don't think I've finished a single thing so far

The c24 is floor joists so it's treated but most of the wall timber is c16. I went with whatever was cheapest internally tbh. It's vented and can breath.

you haven't seen my worst yet. I have an armour cable spurred from the shed that I'm debating a bodge job on so I can get going quicker.... Imagine white pipe but with sparky stuff.

Dead.

Almost had a life changing incident with the mixer too. It actually became unbalanced and fell over. Thank god I got the kill switch before it took my arm off. Deadly things

@dlockers, I'm glad my other half doesn't see your posts otherwise she would think there are more than 7 days in a week! The list of jobs would then be the exponential of an already infinite number.

 

[dlockers]

Trust me chaps, the key is to get enough jobs on the go and complete none of them such that no one can make head nor tail of progress and therefore it's impossible to add jobs to the list.

Even reading the progress updates is not good for my self esteeem.

*looks at To Do List*

*looks at hours spent on ocuk forums*

I've been doing that for 30 odd years, trouble is I add jobs to the list most of the time.

Always bag up before sucking

I'm confused. Is it a Henry, or a Hoover?
