What "man jobs" have you done today?

A few random bits and pieces this weekend

- washed the cars
- quick and nasty spray job to touch up kerb mark on one of wife's wheels
- Changed the battery in my door bell
- soldered a new battery into one of car keys
- checked oil on both cars, topped up screen wash and made up some more to use
- changed a battery in step sons watch

and might put up some hooks in my son's room this afternoon :)
 
Slowly chipping away at fixing the insulated plasterboard in my office room. One wall down and one to go. I keep making a meal of my cuts. Any tips for how straight, clean cuts?
 
Not sure if I have mentioned how much I hate and love old houses, but today I would have given my right arm for plasterboard walls, with the only saving grace, being 10inch skirting that can really hide a fused spur.

Job today was to move a 48inch monitor to sit central to a new desk, move the Lack floating shelf to suit and run a fused spur which will serve all. Running off of the socket that was going to feed the fused spur I was met with issues on the socket itself and problems with a lath & plaster wall, so this became a Wago + blank plate fix.

Used the new drill in anger and got dirty ;) and ended up missing the Beef rib roast dinner :(


Bosch lay off the larger bruv

To do: Cable tidy around the desk. Fill + sand off. Find the 2 black screws for the Lack shelf :D.

@vail3r is that just regular fence beneath it and roofing battens? Looks brilliant.

Your astroturf is pure cancer though, you monster :D :rolleyes: :( :mad:

This is the other side of the feather edge boards I did. So yeah just cheap ungraded battens on this side with weed membrane behind.

I had a lovely lawn about 4 years ago until we got our dog. Within 6 months there wasn’t much grass left with all the holes he had dug so we got the “outdoor carpet” :D
 
weed membrane and 1.5 tonne of gravel laid down in the shed area......1st base all built which is 3m x 2.8m. Still waiting for the pesky tree to be removed before i can start building the walls and the roof. Also the box section steel roof arrived a few weeks back and is nicely stored under the roof of my outside entertainment area.

Done something similar, just put my knee on the hob to steady myself while drilling a hole for the extractor fan and bang goes the hob. Only trouble was I couldn't get one the same size so had to cut the hole bigger in a granite worktop to accommodate the new one.

I know

Just what I needed after the sodding Sonos speakers malarky

Yeah, started a claim - it will cost a small fortune to repair (almost £800 just for the glass) and hoping they just replace the whole thing !

Well they happen in 3's so fingers crossed the last one is just running out of Marmite.

Do you think they will just replace the whole unit?
