I have a guest staying Friday evening so need to get a hustle on with fitting a bathroom and bedroom door 
The old one was battered so I am flipping it. Just filling the old hole up with some CLS offcuts... this was the state as of yesterday so hoping to get another slap of filler on so I can sand them down, refit the hinges and get it hung this evening.

Ballast arrived a week early, now fitted to the mirror.

Easiest is to remove all weeds and fill, but be prepared to see them possibly return, so good weedkiller could be used.
Hardest is to dig out around that area, lay a membrane and then backfill.
The quantity and distribution of polyfill does not reflect on my ability to plaster, at all.
Also, a man from the internet just brought me some wood:

Why do one job when you can get 80% through 5 jobs at once(note: kitchen and utility will get finished soon

Also jealous. I keep meaning to buy a set of colour coded allen/torx
I’ve got them also, fantastic bits of kit.

I love the juxtaposition of super high end and pound shop.
I used to have one of these! It was decent for a teenager, for maybe a year. Then it fell to bits and I kept the cool carbon fibre print plates somewhere.Found mine earlier on its only setting:

Cheers! We've got somebody coming to relay part of the patio after some building work and they will also repoint the rest of the patio. The further I can get removing the old mortar, the less they will charge as we have roughly 90 sqm to repoint. I did some man maths and ordered up a Dewalt SDS+ drill body (with rotary stop mode) that was on offer along with an SDS+ chisel set. Just have to avoid getting carried away and wrecking the stone slabs.
We have 8 rooms, conservatory and none are completely finished, let alone the front and back gardens. We've been in the house for 37yrs.
Not in our house, the main bedroom was done 30ish years ago and I've not even managed to screw the door hinge in properly. That's how good I amWell nothing is ever finished, after all the rooms are done, 6 months later it all starts again doesn’t it?
