My new rule #1 for DIY:-
When going to buy materials, just take the car. Two disasters have taught me this. First one was bringing back expanding foam in plastic bags on bike. Can cuts through bag and falls on ground, starts hissing. Then the foam starts coming out the bottom of the can. Not too bad this one, as holding the can upright only the gas was coming out. Not sure how I'll get the foam out the can though as it's still mostly full.
Take two. Carrying 2.5L can of woodstain in bag on bike, can falls out bag gets run over by back wheel. There's a very brown patch of road in Cambridge now. I was however very impressed with H*base (don't know if we're allowed to name stores?), who after I took the wrecked can in, said it was my only stupid fault they got me a new can at no charge
Am now committed to being lazy when getting supplies, especially anything that can leak!
