DIY stuffs

[Tom]

This took me about nine months:

...and it isn't even finished. There are only minor things left to do, but I'm fairly proud of it anyway.

 

[Kryten]

Awesome, good work! I was pretty pleased with myself for putting up some battened shelves last weekend!

 

[Edmond]

Looks great, well done fella

Just done some extensive renovation myself, not quite finished yet, but hopefully by Crimbo it will be

 

[Fweddy]

Very impressive, well done!

Loved looking through the pics Tom, good job, how many digits did you lose or is that just me?

 

[Shagrat]

nice work tom!!

I give myself a medal if I manage to put a picture up straight......

 

[Tom]

It just takes forethought tbh, and a willingness to endure a lot of mess, hard work and sweat. Now I have to do the downstairs and upstairs landings, they're a right mess. But they can wait until next year...

Oh and I can't even begin to describe how horrible taking that ceiling down was. Trust me, if you ever need to do that job, pay someone else and go on holiday.

How to install an 8x4 sheet of plasterboard on your own

Or just use a plasterboard lift like a normal person.

I wanted to hire one of those, the price was astronomical. So I did things the Northern way

I wanted to hire one of those, the price was astronomical. So I did things the correct Northern way

Fixed.

smashing work Tom, very impressive and inspiring!

I intend to do some painting in my house by ye gods I suck at DIY. about the best I can manage is change a broken lightbulb lol

 

[old.Osy]

I can mess around with changing lightbulbs/sockets, door knobs and locks etc - anything other than possibly lifting something around the house will prompt me to call someone in.

DIY might be rewarding, but I am one of the laziest people on this earth, so no.

Very impressive and It looks ace I was hoping you were going to leave the brickwork as i got about half way through glad you did as it looks very nice!

Looks great old bean.

I'd like to stick my bike on the wall - really like your stands. But my 780mm salsa whammy won't let me

The Cycloc (what I used) is just over a foot from the wall so you could either just turn the wheel slightly (plenty of room) or fix the hanger to a small wooden spacer a couple of inches thick. Easy enough to do.

I do like it - but it's 39cm to the centre of the bars - so the same out the other side just makes it a bit too big I think. I reckon I've space for my one bike above my futon in the downstairs room but tbh I use it so much it'd be hardly on the wall.

And I ain't hanging up the missus'

I have a cyloc for my gangsta track. they're ace.
