Just bought a Gtech handheld hoover because it’s reduced crazy price with extras. Needed something light and quick for spills and spider webs etc and didn’t want to spend a load.
Opening box now, Chrimbo feels.

This came up on my homepage. Know nothing about welding but this thing makes some really pretty welds.

Tumble dryer was refusing to spin this week. Just replaced 2 capacitors and its going again! Sense of achievement, but also feel like its another electronic job closer to our house burning down.

Was that a simple job? Or did you have to take half of it apart?

I’ve changed I think temp sensor in a fridge, that was a piece of piss (if you knew how to do it). Most people don’t so they take them straight down the dump.

Just took the top and side panel off. Push fit connectors and a few screws. Nice and simple after a few you tube videos.

Thanks to Back to the Future the use of the word ‘capacitor’ makes me assume this job requires professor level electronics knowledge.

Any job involving electrical or plumbing skills scares the life out of me. Even hammering a nail into the wall gives me visions of a burst pipe flooding my home or an electrocution.

Had a fancy new bathroom fitted after several years of living with the previous homeowners diy disaster, the layout has completely changed and twice in the early hours I’ve gone to sit down or piss in an now open space, thankfully I’ve realised in time.

Had a hand bidet fitted. Ignoring my possible lactose intolerance and IBS to eating whatever I like past 40 is tough. The only problem I find now is I never feel clean enough using other facilities, first world problems.

A few years back I soldered a new capacitor into a circuit board in a dehumidifier which died on me. Got another 2-3 years out of it, apparantly this was a common fault with that particular model, so it saved £150 on repair or replacement.

I would love a soldering iron. I’d definitely cause some damage with that. Watched a few repair vids on youtube and they make it look like magic. I dont think i have used one since a year 8 design technology lession.

Loving my new Shark vacuum.

No, pretty sure he means it’s a bidet but instead of shooting water a hand pops up and wipes your arse.

Yep, It’s an arse gun. No more stubborn dingleberries, bang and the dirt is gone.

The wife nearly died of embarrassment at the bathroom showroom when I asked for it. Idgaf.
She joked about it with her pals thinking they’d find it funny and weird but were like “ooh I wish we’d had one when we had our bathroom fitted.”

Shittin’ in your bidet when im next in Cumbria

Time to change oil on the lawn mower.

OEM oil filter about 32 EUR.

Car dealer side of my brain kicked in and figured out it was same oil filter as a Suzuki Swift.

Went to local auto factor and got one for 3 EUR. 10 EUR all in with the oil.

Still buzzing about it and I changed it yesterday.
