Few jobs today putting up curtain poles, blinds and bathroom accessories followed up another job changing a couple of toilet seats.

I guess this gets classed as a 'work' day out getting to play with the display tools at Screwfix Live 🙂 even managed a bit of networking with some of the vendors talking about our women's DIY workshops.

A job from a couple of weeks ago: freshening up the space under the kitchen cabinets with an easy clean finish. Two coats of primer/stain block and two coats of a scrubbable kitchen matt. Added a few shelves too. Even grabbed some action videos while we were at it.

Sunday isn’t a rest day round here, seems to be a kitchen day. Wall cabinets up this morning, followed by a small job to mount a hose reel, then straight into another kitchen swapping drawers, door fronts and the kick board. Will be revisiting that kitchen to fit a new washing machine when it arrives.

Quick job in the heat today (thankfully not as hot as it has been!). Relayed the slabs for the step and pointed everything up. A few considerations in this warm weather, misting and soaking the step and slabs several times to stop the moisture being pulled out of the mortar too quickly.

A few weeks post-holiday, and we’ve been keeping busy! Started off with a couple of quick odd jobs putting up a Ring doorbell and swapping out a toilet seat.

Most of our time lately has been spent getting everything ready for our second DIY course: Home Maintenance. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at the setup.

We’ll also be working on the next batch of courses very soon. Want to be the first to know when they drop?

Not a job — just a showcase of resourcefulness. Needed a new fence at home and happened to have a stack of composite decking planks I picked up for free. A couple of bits of hardware from Wickes later, and we’ve now got a solid composite fence. Just needs a pressure wash and a few finishing touches, but I’m rather pleased with the resourcefulness and the money saved compared to buying composite panels.
