I'm hanging an interior door
 
Grr, I forgot how b*stard difficult they were. Last time I did it was 4 in 2 weekends, but that was about 5 years ago... and I fcuking hated it then!

Got to get some wood or cardboard to raise the lower hinge, cos the bloody doorframe is cock-eyed :mad:

Bloody DIY!!!

Anyone esle having DIY "fun"??

falkster 24 February 2007 03:43 PM

Ive been moving my bathroom lightswitch (due to changing the door position)which was nice!!

Had the whole week off and had a huge job list to do.....managed about 4 of them and cant be arsed anymore!

Nat 24 February 2007 03:53 PM

Today i've re-seated a kitchen worktop that i wasn't happy with which is just about enough DIY for me this week :)

JPL 24 February 2007 03:53 PM

I know what you mean, we live in a 1920's house, haven't been here long and the jobs are piling up and up!!

I've got a list as long as my bloody arm, in every room. Every fcuking room!!!

Still... the Stella's in the fridge :thumb: it helps to soften the pain.

Knocked out a full chimney breast today. Nice, no brainer job.

Hand balled every brick into the skip, 25m away and brimmed it. I look like Al Jolson.

Quick shower now, and off to the pub for 4 or 5 well earned pints.

If its any consalation mate, I've got 7 to do at my pad soon. Difference is I've got to make the doors first :D

I'm having fun trying to keep 30 year old storage heaters working in my girlfriends flat. Managed to get one working again by replacing a thermal fuse about 3 weeks ago. Got up yesterday to find a completely different one has stopped working - good job I bought 2 x thermal fuses last time round :thumb: , assuming that's what's wrong with it :wonder:.

Can't wait until we move into our new house with brand new gas central heating system! :D :D :D

falkster 24 February 2007 05:44 PM

Would it not be cheaper to replace them with central heating?? Dont they cost 200 million pounds a day to run??


Oh and I painted the bloody ceiling in matt and the rest is in silk!!! Bloody brilliant.

So not worth doing anything about it! :thumb:

Not to mention the fact that a lot of older flats don't, and never will, have mains gas.
