Its that time now when domestic work should be flooding in with people getting started on their diy projects over the bank holiday.
It has reminded me of a time i went to skim a wall for a chilled out black geezer who loved to do all his own diy. He had built his own extension a few years back and decided to have some of it skimmed so he could build an office. I loved it when i got there cos the man was so bad at it i just couldnt keep a straight face with him.
He had built himself an en suite for it. He had put plasterboards on his back door and then fixed a wc pan to it. He probably didnt even bother to lock the door cos it rattled a bit. I went outside in the garden to find the cistern was on the outside of the back door. All pipework to the basin was bent over the knee with kinks and leaks on all joints. I skimmed it for him cos thats what he wanted but id be surprised if it is still there now.
Have any of you fellas seen some amazing diy work?
