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.....
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.

@Bones and ...??? Did they care? Don't leave us hanging
Took the booze, told us off. Nothing more! I was terrified, I was a goody two shoes.
Probably like my mate’ second ex-wife who was a schoolteacher. Caught some kids with dope and confiscated it on the spot. They spent the next three nights stoned at home.

confiscated for drinks that night. Classic 90s policing I assume
there was always a liquor outlet that would serve you if you could see over the counter.

@Bones ha, the couple of times I tried to buy before I was 20 I got asked for ID, I was too scared to use someones fake ID!
Luckily, like most of us, I had one of those mates who had 5 o'clock shadow at midday when he was 16, he never got asked.

Lol same thing happened to me twice, I had a beard in high school so it always fell on me to buy the grog. Cops were waiting outside and grabbed me on the way out. Basically, said tell us who sold it to you and you are free to go. I got my money back, shop got in trouble, and I simply drove to another liquor store and got the grog for the party.

When I was 16-17 in England, to avoid me being stopped by the bouncer, my friends used to get into the pub and then pull me through the toilet window because I looked about 14.

Also a surefire way to brag about how you got pulled every time.

This. If you have to do the bending and stretching you used to do, you end up, like me, looking like Quasimodo for a day or two.
Spent 6 hours yesterday cutting and splitting logs from some trees I took down earlier this year. Physically tired but no contortions needed so no serious aches or inability to move
