Fixing sofa springs
For some time I have been aware that my sofa has had at least one broken spring. Generally it was feeling a little too soft, and it sagged in the middle where there was one spring missing. Turns out replacing a sofa spring is easier than I expected.
Insulating my garage
I’ve not spent a great deal of time in the garage in the last couple of months. Mostly because the work shop is not so appealing when it’s really cold.
Gravelling the garden
Last year, my girlfriend and I spent 3 days building decking in our garden which I blogged about at the time: The great decking project & Decking finished. It was always the intention to cover the rest of the garden with gravel to match some already there.
Closing the door on a long standing todo.
Some time ago I started a project…, OK quite a long time ago…, alright – I’m slightly embarrassed to admit it was over 2 years ago. My bedroom is pretty big so I decided it could stand to lose a couple of feet to have a decent size built-in wardrobe.
Decking video
Last night Kat got around to cutting together the time lapse stuff of us building the decking, and we’ve uploaded it to YouTube:
Decking finished!
Decking project is now complete (well ish). Three days of labouring in the sunshine, which was very hot work but actually really nice in many ways. It’s great to be out of the office, doing something constructive.
The great decking project
I’ve lived in my house for a couple of years now and I’ve always meant to get around to doing something with the garden.
New toys, and a new project
Today has been a good day for both my geek side and my DIY side.
