Diy I love DIY - any of you out there like getting your hands dirty?
I love re-organising rooms, painting, putting up shelves, new pictures, making cushions, throws and curtains.
When we buy something that needs putting together I'm the one that puts it together, I see it as a challenge and get a great feeling of achievement once it's completed.
I love making things out of old or disused things.
One of my greatest achievements are fixing a JCB lawn mower (worth about £150 - which a friend of mine was throwing out) which had no wheels on the front and the electrics where knackered - Now it mows our lawn perfectly - I sorted out the electrics and used Williams old stabilisers off his bike for the front wheels - anything is possible with a bit of imagination.
So how about you lot, have you had any DIY disasters or what's your greatest DIY achievement?

Awards: Re: Diy Well, I've now put up four new blinds in our house and not only do they look good, but they help keep the warmth in.
We've decided to paint the kitchen - I hate yellow lol, I painted one small wall - think it gonna take me a while to finish it - perhaps start it again after Christmas, as we might be having a new kitchen fitted :D
