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

2»

Comments

  • 10 years ago I would have said not very capable.

    Since a divorce and buying a renovation project (small works) I now know I can do lots. I fitted my kitchen (got a professional to do the worktop), tiled a bathroom (better than the so called professional) and fitted carpets as well as decorating and putting up shelves.

    You tube is great for all sorts of things DIY related.

    Totally useless. Frank Spencer would look good compared to me.
