More tales of the Buffet of Manliness that is the CL household. My infamous 70's front room is being completely gutted and re-done:

 

 

right now it is:

 

 

Painted the walls, ripped out the curtains, cupboard, 70's book case and got cream throws for the awful inherited sofa.

 

Modified an old black short bookcase into a fish tank cabinet, done holes for the wire and storage for the cables etc. Ordered a radiator cover for the 70's gas fire (I don't use it) and laminate flooring is getting installed tomorrow.

 

Ok so I admit I am paying someone to do that but... and here's how I roll. It's IKEA time baby. Tomorrow and new years day I will be building from flatpack:

 

 

 

Plus lamps, small coffee tables etc. Big coffee table in the middle of the room, huge tasteful rug underneath. Few months saving up and then new sofa. Ta dah.

 

Then only the back room.. hallways... kitchen.. bathroom to modernise. 'Kinell. If anyone wants a good laugh, I'll get a photo of the bathroom. Its fucking hideous.

You've done a good job there, Chicken. You won't be able to have a 70s porno bassline playing in the background when you're sitting in your living room now though.

Cheers,but I can still get that 70's vibe in the back room! That is next on my list, to knock the walls though and do the same clean lines / wooden flooring thing.

 

The carpet in the back room is something else.

You forgot the fire, sticking a table infront of it is fooling nobody (that said trying to hide the other one behind a bike is an even worse attempt.

Just moved in to our first house 10 days ago and finally showing off my man credentials with copious amounts of DIY - two rooms almost down already and my hands are rough as anything. Little bit grrrr.

[Furmedge]

Having tiled my bathrooms and put new floors in all over the house I'm now starting on the garden and purchased decking yesterday. Im also tinkering with the idea of putting up a brick enclosure for the BBQ. Me arl man was a brickie so I'll give it a go and he can fix it.

It's a fair cop. I haven't gotten round to getting a radiator cover type thing for it in the front room. They are surprisingly expensive. Might have to make my own (I'm alpha-male as fuck).

 

In the back, I think the fire is actually quite nice although I'd take off the wooden shelf-thingy above it. I'd need to see how it looks once the light is improved, the shite is thrown away and the carpet is ripped out.

Just replaced a car tyre in 9 minutes. I know that isn't record breaking but I did a good job with no drama, mishaps or swearing and it was very obvious I knew what I was doing. Girls in the smoking area were watching and I reckon a couple might have gotten moist at the sight of an alpha male doing man stuff.

 

HEAR ME ROAR.

9 minutes?

 

I could change the pads and discs in that time.

Yeah but it is the way I changed the tyre....

Did you kick the tyre after you finished, just to check it?

[Pony Princess]

Yep. Shame I didn't have a cigar on me, as I would have lit that fucker up too.

Off the exhaust.

[Uncle_Meat]

The way to do it is to bend over and give it a side-to-side "Just checking the wheel bearings" type shimmy. That way the lasses get to perv at your arse as well as your mechanical prowess. Guaranteed twat tsunami.

On Saturday evening I put up loads of ikea furniture in my daughter's room.

[cochyn]

Accidentally put my phone through the wash the other week. Full two-hour cycle, 3200rpm spin the lot. Came out as dead as Patrick Moore and wetter than an otter's pocket. "Bugger" I thought. So I put it in a bag of rice for week to dry out - no dice. So, with tools in hand I cracked the bastid open and had good old fettle - what's the worst that could happen? Well, I bloody sorted it and it's now working perfectly again. I cannae believe it really - well I can , as I'm a fucking wizard with a set of micro-tools and a can of contact cleaner.

 

Made me feel all proud, like the time I re-set the crank angle sensors on my old Audi quattro and got it firing on all five cylinders again after changing the timing belt. (But that's another story for another day).

 

*Geek roar*

[RJ Fan club]

Changed a light switch in under 11 mins on Saturday. Roar!

[Bjornebye]

I think I went "Grrrrrrrr.....you fucking twat!"

 

I lost a lot of respect for myself in that moment. It was a dark time. Luckily I didn't give it the full beans. Saw a fellas thumb today after being smashed whilst holding a peg for someone hitting it with a mallet. It was far from pretty.
