Yep within minutes those bags of clothes were chucked up. Most of the junk got sorted as it was in the workshop tho so hopefully ok for a year or two
What "man jobs" have you done today?

Nothing as exciting or amazing as DL's work but been meaning to tidy up the IT shelving for ages. Finally got round to it. And... Everything still works!
Much neater IMO.

I swear I have so much karma built up now.
I swear I can hear the Some Mothers do have em theme tune playing as I view this carnage.
If anyone is after a multi tool, the Dewalt battery powered one is on eBay with accessories for £79.99 (no battery included).

Put in a large gate fence post - the old one had rotted through at the base. Had to shape it with planes in the rain..then spend the afternoon drilling/digging the remainder of the old fence post out.. it was like a dentist. Finally put together and postcreted.. and just as it started raining again - transferred the latches and locks. Freeking knackered.
Then weeded the lawn, raked in some more grass seed.
The tiles I fitted before yesterday's rain seemed ok.. but it seemed that the adhesive has decided to droop from behind a deeper section on closer look.. so that will need addressing when I have the chance.. mainly by using an angle grinder to remove the set droop below the tile. Partly due to temps but also the rain. Well today I took that as a sign and solved the gatepost.
I ache. HR max was 169 today..

Gave up at this stage -
I have a clear run now to...
* Channel the wall for socket/aerial/CAT6
* Extend the ring for 2 sockets in the external wall (will be insulated plasterboard)
I have some spare loft roll 170mm I'll chuck beneath the floor to keep the kitchen a fraction warmer.
Materials for summer house show up May 7th

Are you still with us after your wife saw this? #prayfordlockersI swear I have so much karma built up now.
Make sure you check that whatever you want to put in it will fit

Pretty long list this weekend, mostly driven by getting a heat pump installed 2 weeks ago:
Re-layed some loft boards which got taken up
Relayed a load of insulation
General tidy up in the loft
Rebuilt the shelving in the airing cupboard, fitting it around the new cylinder and pipework.
Filled sanded and repainted around new radiator pipework on 7 rads, typically all rooms were a different colour and I only used the wrong paint once
Touched in a load of other paint bashes/scrapes while I was there.
I wrapped up the weekend with building 2 book cases

Installed 27m x 9m of astro turf up Newcastle under lyme. If it ever stops raining we can get the kiln dried sand on it and brush and staple it.

Why didn't you just grow your own lawn?

Because the person paying the bill wanted astro turf. Simple, not my decision. I prefer real grass any day of the week.
