Went for a different french brand called Aigle.
I had an Aigle sailing jacket a few years back - nice quality stuff 
Totally should have hit up Ellington for some of his wellies

I’m backing sailing jackets, miss all my nautical gear from late teens - had such a dutty little life jacket.

Can’t wait to get fully involved with this thread. Absolutely ruined myself last weekend clearing a useless corner of our garden and laying down a shed base in readiness:
I don’t think George Clarke will be beating a path to our door, though. Just an 8x6 shed-shaped shed that’ll have gardening implements in it.

Episode 1 of Hugo DIY.
Standing on a stool that I thought was made of metal but it was actually ceramic with a metal effect.
Smashed my feet and hands to shit and ruined the carpet.
Episode 2 coming soon……

Are you sure that was actually a stool and not an upside down plant pot or something?

You could have just smashed that and said it fell, I would have. No need to go all the way with the paint.

You want to tape round the skirting and the plug socket otherwise the end result will look really messy when you’re done

Thought you were supposed to remove the carpet before painting the floorboards, but whatever works for you I guess.

Oiling the floors today, not had a kitchen for 2 years, camping stove and kettle combo is a winner.
2 years in to renovating a house that was used to grow copious amounts of weed in, it’s almost coming together now.
Before pic for comparison, I shoulda kept that Stig cut out.
