I've been doing a lot of small DIY projects whilst renoving up my new house, over the past few weeks. I'm fairly new to DIY and prior to this house I'd have called out a tradesman out to do even the smallest of jobs.
But I seem incapable of getting stuff perfectly level, or perfectly square.
For instance I just hung a wall mounted TV onto a chimney breast and it's out by about 2mm over about 90cm, despite checking and double checking.
I also fitted a fence and despite checking, rechecking, using a decent quality spirit level and tape measure, the fence posts are very slightly out.
I'm also about to fit a load of shelves in a cupboard under the stairs and am trying to improve my accuracy.
Do you people experience the same problems? With experience do you find it easy to get things pretty much "dead on" level straight etc.? Is there an acceptable tolerance... e.g. I'm assuming 2 mill over 90cm is not acceptable, but maybe over a few meters it would be.
