Getting your pipes in a tangle

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 25 Apr

A baby-soft sink?

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 19 Apr

The new kitchen sink came with instructions in the form of pictographs. And the final step of the installation process seemed to be wiping it with paraffin. Well this seemed a bit odd, I wasn’t sure I wanted to use the old can of...

The right tool for the job makes all the difference

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 18 Apr

Back to our usual activities and we needed a new kitchen sink. I noticed a crack in the bowl a year ago but since it didn’t seem to be leaking we didn’t rush to do anything about it. Eventually decided we should do something over...

Keep something for seven years…

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 17 Oct

Keep something for seven years and you will find a use for it – at least that’s a proverb I have heard. Well today I found a use for something we have kept for about eight years – although I have to confess I didn’t keep it...

DIY Clothing

celticeagle @celticeagle (189789) • Boise, Idaho 19 Jan 24
