The end is nigh...

[zenie]

I knew what I fuckin meant alright?

 

[Strumpet]

I got all excited over a new kitchen. Makes me feel quite sick when I think of that.
A fukn kitchen???


(It's bloody lush though...)



Happy big grown up boy type stuff, Kanda!

 

[sojourner]

Goodnight all - good to be back.

I'd be fucking proud if they were quotes about me!

 

[madzone]

I've started looking at places to buy.. initially I was: oh thats really well done up, that looks great etc etc.. (Just move in, job done, no effort etc)

Now though, it's all fucking changed and it's a bit weird! (those that know me will vouch for this!!)

I've started to look at cheaper places in need of renovation and have read up so far this week on:

Making raised grow beds for the garden
Colours for the nursery
Laying laminate floor
Damp proofing basements
How to lay a patio

What the FUCK?? Is there some middle age gene that suddenly kicks in or something??

Blimey...

 

[trashpony]

I can't believe you haven't mentioned in that list of sad fucking stuff that you are going the the IDEAL HOME EXHIBITION this weekend.

The day you're a dad is the day I get the foal christened

 

[Kanda]

Funny fucker!

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Laying laminate floor

Please don't

 

[Kanda]

I'm gonna get fucking battered this weekend to compensate

 

[Orang Utan]

I can't imagine ever doing up something myself - if I ever buy, everything will be fitted and decorated already and I will be able to afford to pay someone to fix things.

It's not all bad!

Dunno about that there London, though, but I doubt very much that the market's anywhere near bottoming out round here. I think people are still flying kites in the hope of a gullible buyer. I reckon there's lots more dropping to be done yet - I'd buy on the upside of the curve, if anything.

 

[berniedicters]

You'll want a nice toobox too. You're not a proper home owner grown-up until you have a nice toolbox.

I have 3. Car, domestic/general purpose, and fiddly bits. The fiddly bits one has the voltmeter and the soldering iron in.

 

[geminisnake]

Have you got a toolbelt yet? Toolbelts are cool

Specially with rigger boots and well fitting jeans

And what's wrong with a screwfix catalogue?? You need a machine mart one too

Ideal Home exhibition??? WTF!?!?!????

 

[madzone]

I think I've just come

 

[berniedicters]

I think I've just come

You mean you don't know?

 

[sleaterkinney]

good time to buy if you can afford it, I suppose

Nah, I reckon houses have about another 30% to fall

 

[berniedicters]

I wouldn't have put it that high, but your point stands...

 

[wrysmile]

Raised beds are easy - although back hurts afterwards if you have to sift rocks out of your garden bed, like we did....

The Ideal Home Show, however, is just freakish....

 

[Kanda]

Dont bother with cheap laminate opt for solid wood

Just to clarify.. tongue and groove proper wood.

Comparing the two though, cost wise... geezus

Reclaimed oak floorboards ftw

 

[Kanda]

They do have a way to fall, deffo, hence my *not buying at the top of the market*

Sorry, that would just cement the fact that you've fallen into the whole ideology. That's what they do... there's no escape....

 

[dodgepot]

i went into B&Q yesterday and left thinking "i want to buy a house" just so that i can do loads of DIY....

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I can't imagine ever doing up something myself - if I ever buy, everything will be fitted and decorated already

But then you won't have an excuse to buy powertools

[Orang Utan]

I don't want to buy any powertools - why would I want to do that?
I don't even know what a powertool is TBH - is that like electric drills n shit?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I don't want to buy any powertools - why would I want to do that?

Because owning powertools makes you a man

 

[Orang Utan]

does it fuck, having a cock does

 

[madzone]

does it fuck, having a cock does

Not in every case

Yeh it is a lot more, but I hate my laminate. At least with solid wood laminate you can sand it back to if it gets scratched.

You're going to The Ideal Home Show?! Check out the Bose stand me and my ex loved all the gadgets tbh.

You know where to come if you need a builder

 

[FridgeMagnet]

But then you won't have an excuse to buy powertools

You could always become a serial killer, that's a good excuse.

I had a dream last night that I was having my driveway repaved and I said to someone 'I'm going to ask Kanda to do it, he's really good at laying setts'
