Couple little side jobs today.

1st. Was a troublesome Ford Kuga, this had few troubled months of going from garage to garage resulting in cross threaded spark plugs. I got the call and had to make a couple visits, I managed to remove the spark plugs, made my own tap to repair the thread in the cylinder head. Fitted new plugs and battery and now the car is running like a dream. P.s I was a fully qualified mechanic before i became an engineer. Nice to see I’ve still got it.

2nd. Was fitting a pull out extendable TV wall bracket and TV, this was to a battened wall so slightly different approach but a great result.

For some Sunday is a day of rest for others it’s a chance to show off.

Genuinely enjoyed this and loved the finished result.

Customer was original quoted £3.5k to replace the door and window, for me to supply and install this I didn’t even charge half of that.

Well it’s been a while since I’ve posted, I’m terrible at getting before and after pics. However this time I remembered.

Customer opened up the chimney and fitted a nice log burner, they contacted me to cut and refit the skirting.

So 2 hours of cutting, trimming and matching the existing mitres has finished a lovely fireplace.

Perfect Friday job

Just a little job today, fix down a fence panel that keeps getting moved.

Customer just wanted it screwed down to the floor to keep it in place and I even stayed to help put up the trellis.

Little jobs are no problem

Sometimes the little jobs make a big difference!!

Annnnnnd that’s job number 3.

Battens fitted, the itchy stuff put in and boarded out.

Then plastered it not perfect but I’m happy with it and most importantly the customer is happy with it.

The corner piece was interesting.

2nd job for March almost done, we have;

Extended ring main and 3 new sockets chased, filled and sockets installed.

The extremely popular vertical wall panels fitted.

Nice low and long floating tv unit fitted.

And the biggest TV I’ve ever installed so far.

Starting job number 3 tomorrow so will be coming back to this one for a little bit of snagging. (Fit the doors, shelves in the unit, hide the cable for the sound bar and of course plug in the PlayStation 5).

Keep an eye out for the finished picture this is another job that’s on my favourite list.
