Fit Your Own Laminate Flooring
When my wife Victoria said she wanted laminated flooring I was all up for it... Then she said she wanted it throughout the whole ground floor, seamlessly. Was this a good idea? I'd never fitted laminate flooring before and wasn't entirely sure I would be able to complete this mammoth task. And wasn't sure laminate... Continue Reading →
Chicken run extension
After setting up our first chicken run we found a few issues that made looking after the girls a little more difficult than we anticipated. Since then we have made a few changes but this has been the biggest yet. We wanted to give the chickens a bit more space in their coop / run.... Continue Reading →
My Favourite Tools
Easier said than done. Is it even possible to rate a tool in a favourite category? Surely each has its own purpose and therefore cannot be rated in a hierarchy of which I like the best? Well, I would say you can based on the following criteria. How often is it used? How satisfying is... Continue Reading →
My Project List

Your going to need a load of sand paper of different grits to get the table into a reasonable condition... Continue Reading →
Falling Water – Frank Lloyd Wright
This has to be my favourite piece of architecture of all time. I love all of Frank's work but this is the creme de la creme of all architecture and quite unbelievable that it was designed and built before the second world war, between 1936 and 1939. It's nearly 80 years old and looks like... Continue Reading →
Dining Room Pendant Lighting
From boring dysfunctional lighting to stylish, modern mood dinning lighting. Let's ignore the artex walls and ceiling (yuck!) and focus on the hanging lights. We found these by accident in Home Sense in Gloucester after searching and debating on hundreds of shapes and styles through B&Q, Homebase and many online retailers. Of course buying them...
