Re: What was your latest DIY project?

I do precious little for myself as can't be fussed after doing all day for others. I've had a few clients tell me to do the same quality of work for them as I would for myself. I quickly tell them, "no, you don't", as stuff I do for myself is functional but doesn't always look the best.

<My husband tried to make a raised bed on a piece of garden. Sounds easy - 4 pieces of wood - he made such a fuss - cant tell him it looks really crap. I'll now have to plant some flowers that will fall over the structure.

I painted one room a couple of years ago then called in a pro (known here as Ford Prefect) to do the kitchen for me. Oh, and if changing a light bulb counts I've got lots of experience at that.

Re: What was your latest DIY project?

The last thing I did in DIY was a little wooden box for the Wife (not for the reason you think) to put flowers in, she had bought the planks of treated wood and had me pestered for weeks to make it. I never made anything from planks before so she was taking a big chance, however I was surprised at how well it turned out. Now all the neighbours want one but I tell them I only do one-offs.

Re: What was your latest DIY project?

Im going to be busy.
