Do it yourself

I saw a whole new side to TOH at the weekend. The one he kept well hidden. Yes, inside his designer exterior is a man who CAN weild a power tool and put up shelves.

With the help of the father-in-law, we have totally rebuilt the inside of two of our cupboards, with just one IKEA element. The rest was proper two-by-four-type sawing, drilling and screwing from B&Q.

We were very proud of our efforts. It was an important job seeing how modern living does not provide you with a loft, or garage, or garden shed to store the bulky things like suitcases, rucksacks and tents.
