There's something about washing your brushes & stuff out when you done and admiring your work.
Now that's a euphemism I can work with.

We started a 3 month reno on the 4th of Feb. Still going strong...
Hope you don't need GIB board....
Tilers! I need fucking tilers
Maaaate just watch a youtube video. You'll be a pro in seconds.
Pfft, if I did it myself then I'd need builders to remove the shit i fucked up then I'd still need tilers afterwards...
Local handyman hereabouts has fridge magnets: "We repair what your husband fixed"
I need that at my place. I’m pretty much the shittest handyman I know. I do have builder and electrician mates who sometimes accept payment in beer, I should probably find a plumber to befriend as well.
Still do most of the home/repair stuff myself except major building work. Re-wired a house or two in my time but don't do electrical stuff anymore as I cant be arsed crawling around running wires. Have a love/hate relationship with plumbing.
But I really enjoy decorating - get into a zen-like state doing that. There's something about washing your brushes & stuff out when you done and admiring your work.
I think it's an old person thing.....

Nah, always liked decorating. Good excuse for a decent bottle of plonk when it's all done.
Yeah, not getting younger but I'm generally way fitter than I was 10-15 years ago. Can't be arsed doing stuff I don't like anymore and can get someone else to do.

I remember a happy new year period where Rheineck was something like 15 bucks for 2 dozen. Pretty sure Kuhntze was similar another year too.

@booboo Rheineck!! I remember a bunch of us savaged a pallet of it during college. A nice change from Lion Brown and cheap as. Well before the Flame years lol.

@Paekakboyz Lion Ice!
Cold filtered or summink, to give extra hangover!

I think it's a look at the prices they charge now and think "it can't be that hard" thing ....
In my youth I did all sorts of projects. Re wired a house, put in central heating, replaced windows, built and tiled a bathroom even re-roofed an entire house.
Definitely was an economic thing but also a massive sense of achievement. Now I prefer to pay someone. Back and knees just aren't up to it.
Garage needs re-roofing To the extent that there is a 1m square hole. It's a piss easy job. Just one peak but I keep on looking at it and thinking. It's only rain. Car gets wet all the time....
I do still enjoy the odd bit of decorating but again my time spending days up a ladder painting the exterior are long done. No one I've paid has ever done as good a job as me though.

You can still buy flame apparently.
My apartment took awhile to sell and my mortgage payments were very high for some time but I never got that desperate.
I remember in the late 90s drinking some DB Export dry and thinking I’d made it in the world.
Is there still export super dry? That was my drop when I became rich and moved into the city.

You’re from the richest part of the Hutt. Don’t make out you’re self made……
But to answer your question I’ll have a gander at the Supermarket tonight.

Yep Lion Ice was my teenage drink in the 90s, I could buy underage from the liquor store behind Big Fresh. Remember when we had to be 20 but could use the paper licence of an older cousin or brother. Fun times.

Hah, fuck that jogged my memory to first time trying to buy, thanks for the giggle. 4 of us, think we were 15, 3 midgets and Marc (RIP) who was about 6'3" on Kent Tce near KFC, Marc goes in, gets our booze, walks over to us and as soon as he puts the beers down and we're all smiles, cops pull up after obviously watching the whole thing.
