today
I am budgeting for wallpaper in order to turn SpareBedroom into Nursery.

it's far more complicated than I thought it would be. Is anyone good at wallpapering because i might need to borrow your services later this year. In exchange for food of course.

or what decorating / diy jobs are you good at?

I'm good at rehanging doors, apparently.
I didn't discover this until I went into my new flat last week to find out whoever decorated the place last had hung three doors upside down, and fitted every cupboard door in the entire place droopily. I was immediately struck with a severe case of MAN, and set about fixing it all and swearing.

The bedroom door still opens by pulling the handle upwards, but that's because I like it that way.

Haha, that's fucked up.
Come fix my kitchen/hall door, it sticks open and gets on my tits.

It's funny because it's about tits.
Your tits. Tits.

How can a door be upside down?
Surely it makes no difference?
(I helped save b3ta! Bob Todd whee, Sat 23 Aug 2008, 12:32, archived)
depends on the style of door
panel doors definaltly have a right and wrong way to be hung. the handles are the wrong height otherwise..

And you have to pull them the wrong way to get out.
A convenient and highly comical way of bamboozling drunken housemates.

nah
thats the lock/mechanism been put in upside down..

think of all the work you could have saved if you knew that... *grin*

It was easier to flip the door than faff about with all of that.
Unscrew, turn around, screw in again. Much easier than unscrewing and refitting the whole mechanism, especially as they'd painted the bloody things solid. I needed to unhang them anyway as they were all catching on the carpet and splitting the cheap panels. I hate shit builders.

you are lucky the hinges were fitted evenly..

(I helped save b3ta! Azra3l Lubrication Persuasion and Brute Force ™, Sat 23 Aug 2008, 12:40, archived)
One thing right, then.
If that hadn't worked I'd have just refitted the lock mechanism, but luckily, it did. You should have seen the state of one of the frames, they'd taken about five attempts to hang it right (and still got it wrong) and the frame was split to buggery. It's fixed now, just, and I have the Virgin mob coming round next friday to rig up the TV and internet so I can move in.

I hate 'web designers' who have no clue on web design and base their 'designs' on printed material.
No concept of menus or anything like that.

And then outsourcing the hard-core stuff (roffle; <? include('head.php'); ?>... and that's it) to poland at £1000/month.

Luckily, one of my flatmates is a builder
and not a crap one, so I'll have him deal with things from now on. I much prefer sitting about on the internet.

My mother-in-law wallpapered one of our bedrooms yesterday because she was a bit bored.
I suggest you find yourself an easily bored mother-in-law and move her in for a few days.

heh
she'd only go and choose something I didn't like and put that up instead.

Last time she came down she attacked Katherine's room and COMPLETELY ignored me when I told her which paint to buy, bought the homebase colour nearest (not the same, and there was a reason I'd specified that colour) and then needed double the amount of paint to cover the green that was in there originally.

I can cover an entire room with my own shit in a matter of hours.
