DIY demon or disaster?

So with the traditional bank holiday diy offers on do you consider yourself a demon or a disaster? What jobs are you doing this long weekend?

I've just painted my new bath panel and am considering painting my new door and skirting boards.

I have just watched a new garden fence go up, very nice it looks too, but Im not very good at diy myself.

I will be planting some flowers tomorrow. I don't like doing it as I don't like mud and getting dirty but I want my garden pretty

Total and utter disaster at anything vaguely practical

I'm a demon

but then I have a very practical based job and I'm stubborn as a mule so don't like being defeated by a bit of carpentry or decorating

I'm not bad. I'm no expert but I'll give anything my best shot and I'm learning all the time.

I've got a few small woodwork projects to do this weekend and some shelves to put up.

I'm making some units so I can double stack DVDs and CDs on shelves and a printer stand to fit a specific space and allow me to keep the printer paper underneath it.

I've also got some aloe vera plants to repot but I'm less enthusiastic about that!

I'm brilliant if I have the right tools

Problem is something always goes wrong which needs a special tool to rectify. Which I never have

I'm crap at it but got no-one else to do it so I do it anyway. A botched job is my speciality.

If something goes wrong... hit it with a hammer....

I'm an Engineer so pretty handy with the tools but also a bit of a demon on the side

Over the years I've got better at it. Won't go near plumbing or anything major, but can get by without making a mess of smaller jobs

I'm shit at diy. That's why you have tradesmen. I pay them to do what I'm not good at.
