I'm good at the flat pack stuff, unlike guys I read the instructions, put everything in a relevant pile and hey ho, off we go, recently assembled a gas lift bed too,
Last weekend I put a load of Venetian blinds up in my faughters house as her boyfriend is totally incapable and doesn't even want to learn |

Men need to learn these skills! Tell your daughter to get a proper boyfriend! |

as I do it everyday for a job it makes no difference to me
usually when i first move into a house I add shelves and do the garden for mrs and kids to enjoy
painting and decorating well ex did the wallpapering I did the painting the only rooms that was agreed upon was bedroom and lounge
ive changed a rented house kitchens often to make them much better
bedroom had a walk in cupboard at last house as I built it up with large mirror doors |

I hate it...
I've two chests of drawers to make..theyve sat here for 4mths..
I have no interest in decorating either...plain walls are good enough for me.. |

I'm *almost* at the end of pretty much totally renovating my house, including replacing the main bathroom (new ceilings, wall out, replumb, rewire, install underfloor heating and a whole new suite- only had the tiling done as i wanted a top end job and my tiling is average)
Then I rebuilt the kitchen and built my own conservatory (kitchen ceiling replaced, more underfloor heating and rewiring etc)
Just finished the main bedroom- removing a wall to build an en-suite and also building partition walls for built in wardrobes.
Not much fazes me now, i've replaced all the gutters and soffits, built decking, built a woodshed from the remains of a bigger shed, painted the entire house exterior, installed windows, replaced drains, rendered exterior walls, installed CCYV and a full cat6 network system......should have the last bits done next year-then i can sell it and start it all again  |

Why put in cat6 cabling when one can use AC powerline adapters.? |

I'm a decorator and work on building sites every day! I've re-tiled my bathroom at home, fixed boilers & renovated my own place.
Do I love it? Hell yeah!

I was once asked if I was handy. I said "Yeah I live round the corner". Needless to say DIY is not my thing. It took me 18 months to drill a hole in the wall |

So you dont have a AC power point where you plug whatever device in without the extra hassle of running cables around..

I'm pretty much rebuilding each room, chasing out for cables and/or boarding walls- wheres the hassle running in a cable? they also use no power and rarely go wrong |
