What are you.planning on DIYing this year? Large or small I'd love to hear about it. Is it something you've done before or something out of your comfort zone?

I'm planning on building some wheelie bin storagefor the from of the house that's on a bit of a slope. Never done anything like that before. I'm going to get a wood blade for my angle grinder as I cannot cut straight with a saw to save my life.

I'm sure it'll end up looking like Homer's handywork.

Before or after that I'd like to build a small work bench for the garage. But the possibilities are so much to decide on.

Just finished recaulking the bathtub. I hate the job with a passion. When we bought the house it had acrylic caulk and I'm still scraping that off 10 years later. Silicone went on well, so hopefully it will last a while.

Next on the list is to replace the guts of a toilet. It flushes ok, but takes forever to refill so double flushes are out of the question. I'm 80% confident that it's the internals and not the water supply, but only one way to find out.

Plumbing I don't dare touch, as I would almost certainly cock it up. So good lick to you.

I recently replaced the bath panel on our bath which was plastic and full of cracks and holes. It took me days and I ended up taking an angle grinder to the floor- it's a long story.
