        Re: DIY Anyone?

        Okay where will I start.

        Hall stairs and landing need painted/papered
        Bathroom needs decorating
        shower room roof needs re plastered
        all windows and doors outside need varnished
        garage door painted
        daughter's bedroom (only if she keeps it tidy)
        our bedroom
        garden needs major overhaul


        need to get the builders back to fix the coving again (4th time) as it is coming away again. Had major work done due to house flooding so half of it is done.

          Re: DIY Anyone?

          Here's my (ongoing) list:

          GARDEN

          Build a wall round the enormous pond that himself has got us.
          Jet Wash Patio's
          New roof the goes over the patio (cat jumped on it and went straight through so now a massive hole in it).

          HOUSE (Note to self, buy Dulux Endurable paint in future).

          Repaint hall, stairs and landing (bought cheap magnolia but didn't realise when you try to wash off a mark it takes the paint away as well).
          Paint Kitchen ceiling, door and frame. Fully tiled so no other painting needed.
          Paint Bathrooms ceilings, door and frame. Fully tiled so no other painting needed.
          Decorate small bedroom and lay new carpet which is in the garage £20 in the sales.
          Decorate main bedroom, and build new wardrobes. (Gotta save up for the wardrobes).

          FRONT OF HOUSE

          Strip and Paint the window frames.
          Paint the front of house.
          Jet wash the drive (this job is massive, and takes ages. Then brush new driveway sand into the cracks between the block paving.
          Tidy up the flower bed and clean all the white stones on it (they have all gone green, so need doing badly).
          Repair the wall that himself knocked down whilst driving onto the drive one night.
