Yes


Yah.

Are we going to have a shelf-off?


I never have done so

I think so but I'm not really sure. Wouldn't be quite sure where to drill holes.

I suspect the answer is "can I put up a shelf?" Yes.

"Can I put up a shelf that is even so things don't slide off the other end?" No.


Spirit level

drill, plugs and screws, I'm sure you could do it :P


I never have.

I can't imagine it being very difficult, no.


yes

and i own a spirit level.


Easy

I can put up a nice barbwire fence for you too if you like or lay you a nice concrete drive


if my dad

lets me borrow his drill and trusts me to not hit an electric wire.


yep


probably

once in school i made a wooden box with a lock, three compartments and a sliding toolbox style opening mechanism. now i keep my change in it. YEAHHH!!!!


Of course.

I'm a dab hand at DIY.


nope

no.


yes

But last time I did it with the help of a grilfriend. I do however have a chain saw licence. That is about the most manly thing about me other than the obviouse ummm body parts.


YEA!

dont u just love the spunk and tostosterone pouring out of me right now?

Sure u do


<3

I bet you're a dab hand with a drill-bit too.


fuck no.


i would be all like,

"yeah i can put up a shelf" then proceed to drill about 20 holes into the wall, then blame the drill for being faulty and give up.


yes.

but i'd need a new bot of wood after hitting _vikram in the face with the first one.

and. i can plumb in a washing machine, had to do it on saturday nightwhich is why i was late for browne and toms party on saturday.

any other diy q's?


^bit


i can put up a shelf

what do i win?


that's crap

i'll never be helping you with any shelves then


It's a deliberate disincentive.....

your place is in the bedroom.


or you could put a mini-kitchen in the bedroom

imagine, cold beers and everything, without even having to get out of bed.


Yeah, but not particularly elegantly.

And I'd need to borrow a drill.


yup


I have put up a shelf

I got a spirit level and everything to do it.

However I don't think I used it properly as it slants notably but without slanting so much that it causes books to fall off.

I think it added value to the house before we sold it.


Most people can put up a shelf

but whether they put it up properly is a different thing. I shall be attempting some alcove shelving very soon and don't worry I'll keep you posted.


This could become the highlight of my year
