name and shame

There are so many people posting there I've forgotten who it was, so i'm just gonna blame everyone.

Also I have a bag of those screws too if you want even more.

‘Upcycled’ a bit of teak window board into a coat rack. I didn’t have any ‘normal’ finishes so I slapped a few coats of shellac on with a brush. Came up ok. I may have over done the number of hooks

nope - whole thing is just 250mm end to end (as I mentioned I may have over egged the hook number)

I know you have thought about this, but that many hooks is a magnet for people to hang shit on

You will need pretty decent fixing to the wall, I think


Lovely piece of work

too many hooks spoiled the feng shui?

yeah, I should have gone with 2 or 3, or a longer bit of timber.

it may be a shite job, excellently executed, as my dad used to say ;-)

Ah, it's fine if it's dog leashes and hats and jackets
And people use their hanging loops
Totally fine

A house full of duffel coats and you might have an issue...

tried to get up into the smaller attic and stick some flooring down but nearly fell out of the hatch with the heat up there.

Fuck that for this weather

Had a customer ask me for a ‘good sparks’ number’ yesterday. Sick of wanker sparks turning up and having a look and going ‘not interested now pay me for my hour’
Told him he’d Be waiting a few weeks for anyone decent doing domestic. A lot of sparks only interested in saying yes for big construction job money. Less hassle more
Money. They’ll be more fucked if shit goes bust though so that’s the risk they take

They don't want anything involving problem solving

They want new work or simple stuff


Same with plumbers

Everything's a pain in the hole to everyone
