Default Why I dont DIY

I took Friday off work do do a bit of DIY.

Put a rad cover together and fitted it over the bathroom rad, this was a
painful task as the MDF flat pack rad cover was ****e like I had never seen
before and when I had finished bodging it I may have well have built one
from scratch.
Anyway the bathroom door wont close.
I needed the rad cover as since having the bathroom wall reskimmed I cant
get skirting between the pipes and the bloody wall. I suppose I could mitre
some pieces and butt them together behind.

Put some architrave around a downstairs window, looked OK or at least will
with some filler, went to do bathroom window and didnt have enough so just
did the 2 sides intending to do top later. If I am being honest I only had
enough to do one side, I used 2 pieces up the other side.
After a couple of shandies last night I noted that I had done one side (the
full piece obviously) with the wrong end up to the window casing, took it
off along with a portion of fresh skim.


Damn .. it happens ..

It doesn't work when ones heart isn't really in it.


And why I don't even start on days like that .. or if I don't feel
that the materials / tools I have are 'right'.

Give it a while then git back on that horse pardner! .. ;-)

All the best ..
