If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

Hung my first door with the old man last week, 8 hrs later a door that doesn't close properly.

I've hung a few over the years. I've even put some doors up! (I'm here all week) Last year I hung a new front door and wanted to make sure my method was right (it was an expensive door, not a cheap internal one) so I watched a few DIY videos on the internet and confirmed I was doing it roughly right but got some tips to make it quicker and easier. When it comes to DIY, the internet can be amazingly helpful.

My dad is the real DIY expert, unfortunately helping him do DIY as a kid put me off being a legend in this area...I should get into it though, the Mrs loves it when I do jobs around the house, easy way to score bonus points right?
