just a short post for starter to say hello from a DIY addict - POWER TOOLS - what more can I say and what a great site!!!!
I am an "untrained" DIY'er and will turn my hand to anything . . .
Latest project (95%) complete was a COMPLETE refit and refurbishment of my wife's Hair Salon in Glastonbury + decoration and rework of new space - bulk of the work had to be done in 4 days (while she was closed) + a few days before in the new section of her shop + a few days after.
All thats left to do is install some more lighting, finish off the sound system, a tiny bit of final paint and a final flurry on the bespoke skirting boards - mitreing grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Reason for bits left to do - fell off motorbike last weekend - cant bend knee - will be back on the case on Saturday!
The project highlights . . .
Design & Building of a "stage" for the new wash basins
Design & Building of a "Light Island" above the 3 new finishing stations
Removal of a wall between the old and additional space
Skirting board all round
installation of new hot water system
Skills covered . . .
painiting
demolition
design
chippie work
sparky work
POWER TOOLS ACQUIRED for this job . . .
a very sexy all singing all dancing mitre saw + stand
a laser measuring thingy +/- 3mm/50m!
a digital angle gague
Well chuffed - the salon is STUNNING - everyone is shocked and I have been asked twice to make a light island for them PLUS we have been asked who the designer was - LOL!!!!
Will post some b4 and 1/2'ter pics soon.
