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.

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


Don't you have a father or father-in-law?


Unfortunately not, father-location unknown, father-in-law-useless and a
tosser.
