Women and DIY

The power of lurve?

Just been to see Lou. I knocked down her pantry wall over the weekend (she had a go but I did most it) as per earlier post.

1. She had the skip delivered onto her driveway boxing my car in [1].

1. She offered to start washing the van whilst I chopped up the door frame to fit into the skip. So she gave the van a pre hose down with the windows open.

2. Complained that she was on a water meter and I was costing her money to wash the van.

1. Asked to "borrow" £100 for the skip.

2. Complained again about me having a piss out the back door on Saturday night.

1. Asked if I could fit spotlights in the kitchen.

2. Complained that her 16 year old son could only carry one brick at a time to the skip.

1. Threw the reusable rubble sacks at the bottom of the skip instead of emptying them into the skip.

2. Complained that I did not fetch wine or flowers

1. Offered to stop at mine on Saturday night.

Strange that no 10 made me forgive her.

Women mostly don't do the hard & hazardous jobs, so they have expectations that don't fit much DIY.

No 5.

She complains that the neighbours will see me.

Her next door neighbour was doing the same thing and we had a social distancing piss out the back door. He has 4 women at his house and only one bathroom.

I am just too lazy to walk upstairs.

Would she rather you used kitchen sink?

It was full of washing up.

And that has always been my job

Until they get divorced, then they learn how to load logs on a trailer and use a chainsaw to feed the woodburner ...

She just happens to be a woman, I know plenty of blokes with no attention to think before you do things. Indeed a now sadly dead lady friend of mine was not only a good DIYer but when enjoyed bricklaying as well. So I guess it depends where your talents lie in this world. My frien died too young of cancer who said this world was fair. Brian

Don't you use a plastic bowl inside the sink?

No cause for her to complain then.

Owain

too much information ...but on topic ...tee hee

watch you don't catch anything..

You could point out that:

2) It will keep badgers away (well, blokes' piss, anyway, I'm told) and possibly urban foxes and cats too.

on might expect the delivery van to think to ask first

Yup. Keen gardeners should always pee on the compost heap to help the contents decompose.

Alternatively, for those doing high mileages, there are always empty

However, next door's daughter's boyfriend was confused as to why a masonry drill was having problems making a hole in wood. He claims that he used to be a kitchen fitter.

Do you know hard work it is to piss into a 2L coke bottle when driving on the motorway?

I would never throw it out the window. I leave it in the car for her to put in the bin when I get back from work.

And I believe him [subtle joke just in case it needs explaining]

Could you use a funnel and get the apprentice to hold it?

Owain

Hold what, exactly?
