My bathroom needs tiling and the shower fitted lol
My dad who's a brickie of 35 years has had a shed half built in his back garden for 2 years.
We're all guilty of it to an extent.

When you have a quiet spell look on your house as a paying job and attack it the same way you would your work. That's the theory anyway lol.

i think there should be a plumber exchange program, you do mine i do yours, that way we have chance to show of our skills to each other and the jobs get chuffin done. lol

Maybe we should start a "I'll show you mine if you show me yours gallery"

Hmm!

Not so sure, the Plumbing in our house needs attention too. But do bus drivers drive a bus around their house after they finish work? No!

Ive only got a couple of things to be honest, we had our house on the market last year so i had a blitz on all the little unfinished projects, I got my other tradesman mates in over a fortnight to finish stuff off,eg new skirting in a room wed had plasterd, it would take me all day, my mate Roy whos a joiner did it in an hour.
We took the house off the market so Iam enjoying sitting in a finished house without the mrs nagging me.
