Re: Home improvement, or DIY projects! -

I've mostly done just rearranging furniture. My current project is trying to organise my tiny wardrobe. I'd love to build some shelves/units inside it but that's too advanced for me so I might just buy a cheap plastic unit to sit inside and store out of season clothes.
I wish we could do more DIY. When my dad was alive and well, this house was his project. He did so much work on it. Moved a bathroom from one side of the house to the other, changed the water pipes (think they were lead?), and even did some electrical work too (made sure that they met the regulations at the time). He's also fitted laminate flooring, made a little cupboard under the stairs and plastered and painted the walls and done a little bit of tiling too. I was young at the time but did help out with things like taking wall paper off and cleaning. Outside of the house he has helped build garden walls too.
These days we tend to get builders in to do the work but so far none of have lived up to my dad's standards. I would love to take over though!
