MSE Forum poll: How capable are you at doing DIY?

MSE_JC

There's a bank holiday approaching (at least at the time of posting this!), which means many people will be thinking of attempting some jobs that need doing around the home.

But while some seem comfortable knocking together an extension or retiling a bathroom, others find putting up a shelf or changing a fuse to be an uphill struggle. (I once tried to apply fresh sealant around a bath and it looked like there'd been an explosion at a marshmallow factory).

How handy do you consider yourself to be when it comes to all things do-it-yourself?

I can change a fuse, even re-wire a plug (if it's old enough to be re-wire-able), and I know how to use a screwdriver and electric drill - I just don't often feel the need to.
