This Season ๐
One of my favourite holidays is coming. I finished my pillow.

I've been slowing but surly building a small room for the last few weeks.

So we can use a lithium-ion batteries as the most efficient source of power with betterโฆ (edited) read more

The worst part about DIY is still running out of money. I made it taller, but now it doesn't have a roof. ๐ซฃ๐

Used heavy kitchen scissors and a screwdriver.

Leaky Kitchen Tap
Good news: I own my house Bad news: the kitchen sink decided to start leaking Turned the water off, ran the taps dry, and had a go at tightening it โฆ still a slow drip. Not surprising though, the fitting's probably older than I am. So I took it apart, gave it a wipe down, and found the issue,โฆ read more

Sink Failed During Thanksgiving
For many reasons, mostly shoddy work on the previous owner, but has been leaking a while. Installing a complete new kitchen drain system and will figure out how to prevent the water underneath from moulding.

My room renvation!
New year, new me, new project! New year's eve ripped out the carpet and that first week I laid in the vinyl floor, painted, added new kick boards, and Closet doors it was a dragging project but I love my rooms fresh look now!




Previously I've managed to mend a small bag, this time it's a dress for someone else.
The first two photos are of the dress and an approximate place that was mended, and the third shows that same place, but reversed. Every time I fix something the back always looks similar to this. Still did a pretty decent job.

Floor lifted, trying to fix chipped tile




Guess what I'm making?๐ค
Gotta wait for it to dry and color it first so it's more obvious๐๐
Tool chest on wheels!
Look what I built! Yea the downside is if I need it out I have to empty it. But I'm chuffed with how it's worded out. Designed for the chopsaw, pure luck everything fits in




Before and after | used coffee table
Friend gave me a used coffee table and I wanted to see if I could restore it to some degree lol.


Work in progress. Photo's a bit outdated, sad to say I probably won't make a DIY battery ๐

Finally done
3 weeks and lots of work but porch is finally usable! Excited to start using it this summer!



New worktop progress
Ordered a blockboard wooden board for a new standing desk. First time experience, I made a couple of mistakes, but you can always resand and apply a new oil layer. First picture is the final product.



Asbestos tile
9in x 9in asbestos tiles.

Progress
Polystyrene tiles removed, onto removing more wallpaper

Before and after shots of my marketplace find. Wasn't expecting laminate top over particle board so I aged it, roughed it up, now it looks like its still in a tavern for a few years and could probably tell a few good stories. (edited)
