Re: What was your latest DIY project?

Thank you ladies, flattery will get you any where, and I forgot to mention the cots seperate to make 2 single ones, I would like to make other things, but my eyes arent as good as they were, and to get down to intricate work is no longer possible, due to (as my wife used to say) Arthur Ritus in both knees, I have one more project to do, a gate to go across my daughters drive, so they can sunbathe without being seen from the road, the only problem is the drive is 10 feet wide, and they want the gate to be at least 5 feet high but easily shifted to allow the car to access the drive., but for that they will have to wait till the new year.

Re: What was your latest DIY project?

I need Tommy Walsh!!! Ruddy drain problem still not resolved, OH thought he'd fixed it after sludge gulper been put into service, now I can see a deep pool developing again & OH not here. Last Sunday was in a queue for [B]2 HOURS[B] on water boards "emergency service" line. Is a complete joke so my next DIY project may be trying to get my pressure washer to the area for a temporary fix. I AM NOT A HAPPY BUNNY

Aw Lynn I can empathise . We used to have a big problem here with blocked drains , this was before the recent change with water boards taking responsibility for any problem.
In the end the 5 houses affected clubbed together to pay for a 'Pipe Eye' camera survey which revealed a collapsed pipe (possibly due to heavy farm vehicles using our little lane) fortunately this was covered on the house insurance so we only had to pay the excess
I hope you resolve your problem soon.

Re: What was your latest DIY project?

Don't laugh, but I'm working on some hardware which will let me have easy access to plugs and sockets and allow remote operation of my PC and media players, whilst I recover from a hip replacement I will be having whilst avoiding the need to bend over and climb over stuff to get into awkward corners.
