Show us your non-car bodge jobs....!

Or those that are not defined by gender.

 

Owning up to one of my bigger bodges, when the kitchen was being done over a year ago I needed to remove all the old cupboards and then tiles prior to the new kitchen going in.
Units all came off easily, managed to salvage them in great condition and sell them on. However, removing the old tiles was not so easy. Most came off relatively smoothly, leaving the plaster intact. Some didn’t......
On one side wall the plaster all came off in a space, leaving a hole in the cavity, this needed filling before the new kitchen units went in as I would be tiling around them after. So, taking some old wood and screws I managed to back fill the hole, then mixed up some rough plaster to cover up. After this and all dried and the units were fitted, I tiled over. Nobody would know!

 

I believe they refer to themselves as "non binary"?

 

Fab job
you fully merit having your own "Shed" !

 

I think your selling yourself & skillset short!

 

Cheers. It’s amazing what a bit of “I can give that a go” attitude will do, and watching YouTube videos of course.

 

Just to note, I didn’t put the kitchen cabinets or work surface in, paid the professionals for that! Sub contracted the work out to people who know what they are doing.
Enjoyed doing the tiles, glad I made the decision to buy an electric tile cutter, excellent tool. Have leant that to my son in law. Wonder if I will ever see it again....

 

Of course you won't !

My dad always said lend someone money or your time to help out when they are in need, but NEVER your tools or records.

 

No chance. I have started making a note in my phone whose got what, or you never see it again and end up forgetting. Just leant son in law two chisels and a rasp. There was no way he was getting hold on my SDS drill though, i went and did that job for him.

 

I’m borrowing the SIL’s ladder at the weekend. That will give me a hostage option!

 

Use cocktail sticks too if you don't have any match sticks as they work well too.

 

How's this for a bodge job.
Used by locals in Hua Hin Thailand for towing fishing boats out of the sea.

 

Stripped for weight loss?

 

I built my own scaffolding to allow the new brickwork to be rendered. When the builder turned up to do the rendering he was weary but it worked and saved a grand in scaffolding.
You can just about see the platform in line with the top of the velux windows.

 

I also had to move my own electric meter, this is it during progress.

 

Time to come clean Ian.
That's your place between the two ladders!

Kindest regards
Carl.

 

Maybe before I started building it was!

 

How are you going to get to garden level.
Steps or full width deck?

 

Thats all done now, you cant see the steps, but they are where the red gallon container is standing.

 

Nice job looks smart.

Kindest regards
Carl.
