Some of the tips/thoughts that have appeared on my Twitter feed.
- Trying DIYtools.co.uk, rather than usual Screwfix: they were cheaper and had more stock. Plus 5% off with code diytools5 http://bit.ly/k8QHr
- Ooh, just found these cute little kitchen compost buckets from Garden Trading http://bit.ly/19axZp. But which colour? hmmm
- Catching up with old Observer mag with series of How to (put up shelves, maintain appliances etc) articles http://bit.ly/hhNAW
- Ah, I see, are extracts from Mend it! by Sian Berry http://bit.ly/kar8f Doesn’t look like it’s actually out yet.
- Just ordered loads of pineboard direct from timber merchants for shelving. I really REALLY hope I calculated cuts etc correctly, eek.
- Timber arrived. Fits fine, maybe a weeny bit of planing needed on one side. Phew. From Whitten timber http://bit.ly/ym3rZ Good service.
- http://twitpic.com/l00zq – First shelf up! So pleased. Despite comedy of errors we are learning quickly
- Curtain rails up; not too difficult given the height. Fridge/freezer door reversed; absolute pain, thanks Indesit 😦
- RT @JanetStrath: Some dodgy DIY for the weekend: http://thereifixedit.com/
- http://twitpic.com/m9sla – Lovely wooden wormery, £10 from Southwark council (if you are a resident).
- http://twitpic.com/m9spy – And now with happy worms! Not allowed food for a week though apparently. Seems harsh.
