Can we fix it?
So, I’m laying a laminate floor in my kitchen. And, despite the fact that my DIY skills are nil & there are numerous difficult cuts required I am, due to financial constraints, doing this all by myself.
Having totally screwed up the first few cuts I decided to invest in a workbench. Some assembly required. So I assembled it on Saturday night after a day in the pub watching England fail to play rugby. Now, the law of averages says I should have got at least one bit right. But no, in the harsh light of Sunday morning it becomes apparent that I have the legs the wrong way round so they slope inwards instead of outwards. The top is back to front and even the braces are upside-down. Ho hum. Still rather than fix it I decide to press on. And, surprisingly, the floor is looking ok. So its taken an age, there has been a certain amount of language, but its ¾ laid & looking alright.
But I have accidently sawn the end off the top of my new workbench.

Well done mate. "Language" is the only constant in the world of DIY - I'm still bloody tiling four months after starting.
Mind you, it's better for me because at least we won the Calcutta Cup...
the less said about the Calcutta Cup the better un-crowned. p.s. Hows the hangover?
serves you right not only p***** after the rugby but also spent all night looking at my wifes boobs.
Ha Ha
